Our heartfelt condolences to Linda and all affected by this devastating news. Prof Michael Sheetz was an inspirational Founding Director of MBI and we would not be here today without his foresight and leadership. We hope to continue his legacy in mechanobiology for years to come.
My heart is broken as I announce the passing of my beloved husband, science partner and friend, Michael Sheetz. A remarkable scientist we packed 40 years of living into 20. Rejuvenation of senescent cells and mice in Press in Aging Cell; his last words were this was his best work

Great start to the 2025 MBI Weekly Seminars with a super engaging talk by @shengchen_tw from @IMBSinica on how ferroptotic (iron-dependent cell death) trigger waves behave similarly to a wild fire to initiate and propagate large scale cell death during development.
