So excited to share the first paper from the lab! We identified CD34 as a marker of the heart’s SAN pacemaker cells enabling their isolation from stem cell differentiation cultures, advancing future disease modeling and biological pacemaker applications. https://t.co/yaThtPS3WC

Thrilled to share one of our biggest discoveries: ā€œInceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in beta cellsā€. https://t.co/GKx6eslJz0 A tremendous collaborative effort led by @JohannaSiehler, @BilekovaSara and other members of the @LickertHeiko lab.
