E. coli engineered to become stem cells that differentiate! We prevent take-over by mutant stem cells that only self renew - by linking differentiation to an essential function. A new way to engineer stable microbial communities. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

CAR T cells to reverse - and even prevent - aging phenotypes! The CAR Ts target uPAR, which is upregulated in senescent cells. Treated mice see metabolic improvements & better exercise capacity, & this can work prophylactically, too: treat young mice, and the have better glucose

Tertiary lymphoid structures are similar to germinal centers generated near a tumor with anti-tumor effects. Soon to come from our lab - math modelling of their genesis. This study tracks their formation over time in lung cancer.

The book on the right was the first academic book I bought, it changed the way I saw Science and changed the direction of my carreer. I look forward to see what the book in the left will bring. Thanks, uri alon.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb uri alon has a very interesting saturating repair model for aging, explained in his 2023 book. A simple SDE exhibits Gompertz-like mortality, and fits experimental data quite well. Sadly, most biologists are allergic to this type of thinking.

Just did a group meeting of a PhD student in the cloud. It takes courage to say I'm stuck, confused, discouraged. This vulnerability elicited solidarity and support from the group, and a flood of new ideas and hope. It was gratifying for everyone.
