Lizzie Maughan @UCLchildhealth led this collaboration with Wenhui Song’s lab @UCLDivofSurgery to develop a bespoke airway stent for a 5-month-old with near complete laryngeal stenosis. The novel 3D printed stent enabled safe airway reconstruction. 📄

New preprint! We know cancer cells with somatic mutations are selected to evade the immune system. With @imartincorena Peter Campbell @ZJL1435957 @QuotientTx, we asked if immune cells with somatic mutations are also selected to fight cancer. https://t.co/2CWjTgZ3nY 1/5

Early Career Opportunity, CDB, UCL Mentorship, world-class facilities, and a supportive environment. We are particularly interested in researchers in Synthetic Dev. Biol. Mechanobiology and AI approaches. #AcademicJobs #EarlyCareerResearcher #UCL #DevelopmentalBiology

An incredible advance in regenerative medicine, reported in @NEJM this week: Stem Cell–Derived, Fully Differentiated Islets for Type 1 Diabetes | #helpisonthe way!

Great opportunity in a great team!

Want to get 31% "younger" biologically? Play 90 mins of Bundesliga soccer. The catch? You're back to baseline within 24 hours. 🤣This isn't hype, it's a wild finding! A new study reveals GrimAge (the most robust epigenetic clock for mortality risk) shows a significant dip after a

The AJRCMB Call for Papers on Lung Repair Models and Mechanisms - launched at the Vermont Stem Cell Conference earlier this month - is now open! Please consider submitting your next paper here. Thanks to @JanetteKBurgess and Andrew Halayko for making this happen 🙌

⏱️Only 3 weeks left to submit your abstract to #BALR2025, "New Horizons in Respiratory Research" Cardiff, 8-10 September 2025. ✔️ Expert panel discussion on research priorities ✔️ ECR awards ✔️ Conference dinner in stunning location on Cardiff Bay. Submit:

It was an honour to co-chair the 20th Anniversary Vermont Lung Stem Cell Conference in Vermont last week. Grateful to @AmyLRyan, Sinem Koc-Guenel & Dan Weiss, our planning teams, and everyone who joined us. Excited to return to Burlington in 2027!

Great to see @krijndijkstra's work from @TheCrick published! He developed clonal organoid lines from NSCLC tumours and PDX models. Immune evasion varied between clones from the same tumour, highlighting intratumour heterogeneity and providing a model to study it.

Excited to share our new paper with Sheila's lab: we performed an in vivo genome-wide CRISPRa screen using a lung TRACERx PDX model to uncover drivers of brain metastasis. BACE1 emerged as a key hit - especially interesting given ongoing therapeutic efforts in Alzheimer’s.

A great @_BSGCT Annual Conference for the lab with Marily presenting her MRes data on airway basal cell transduction and @Jess0rr winning the Fairbairn Award for her talk on basal cell expansion and transplantation 👏

Great to see so many familiar faces registered for the 20th Anniversary Stem Cells, Cell Therapies & Bioengineering Conference in Burlington in July. There’s still time to register and for trainees to book a spot on the unique pre-conference workshops. https://t.co/vbsFFhaeAZ

Got a radical idea that doesn’t fit the mold? #HFSP supports bold, high-risk postdoctoral research in #LifeSciences 🧪 Challenge the norm. Go international. Think beyond disciplines 💪 Apply now! 💥 Deadline May 15 | Initiate LOI by May 7 🔗 https://t.co/T99VInDhhj #sts
