So many thanks to The Marcus Foundation for believing in my research program, and giving my lab the opportunity to develop our stem cell protocols towards restoring somatosensation. Thanks also to @UCLAstemcell for all their support with this gift. newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/u…

UCLA receives $2 million to develop regenerative medicine therapies for spinal cord injury

The grant from The Marcus Foundation will support research on restoring sensory function and feeling.

New paper alert from the Butler lab! We have used pseudotime analyses of scRNA-Seq in vivo and in vitro datasets to examine the lineage trajectories in the developing dorsal spinal cord to identify novel regulators of dorsal neural fates. 🧵journals.biologists.com/dev/…

Investigating the basis of lineage decisions and developmental trajectories in the dorsal spinal...

Summary: Pseudotime analyses of mouse embryonic stem cell-derived dorsal spinal interneurons identifies regulators and lineage relationships between different interneuron populations.

Mitf is a Schwann cell sensor of axonal integrity that drives nerve repair dlvr.it/Sy83Bf

Mitf is a Schwann cell sensor of axonal integrity that drives nerve repair

Daboussi et al. identified Mitf as a Schwann cell-autonomous sensor that detects axonal damage from injury and disease via Nrg-Erbb-PI3K-mTorc2 signaling. Activation of MITF induces nuclear translo...

My heart in seeing all the devastation on Maui 💔. I was very young, but I remember visiting beautiful Lahaina as a child, passing through to visit other family on the island. Lahaina has given so much of itself to the world, please give back if you can. 🌺🌴❤️

The ultimate bittersweet celebration - Steve Peckman’s retirement party from @UCLAstemcell. As Steve likes to quote: “What is now proved was once only imagined.” Steve enabled us all (the stem cell scientists @UCLA) to bring that process to fruition. Thank you.
