Forbes will be co-hosting “America Innovates,” a free, open-to-the-public, family-friendly, three-day experience featuring an immersive walk-through exhibit, as a part of Forbes’ year-long campaign celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.
Meet our speakers: forbes.com/sites/pr/2026/04/… #Forbes250
As the U.S. approaches its semiquincentennial, Forbes is focusing on what has always united the country: the American Dream and the innovation it inspires.
That's why we're launching the Innovator 250, our list of the 250 greatest living American innovators, judged through Forbes’ entrepreneurial lens. #Forbes250 forbes.com/sites/randalllane…

Transforming growth factor (TGFß) is key regulator: immune system, development. There are 3 TGFß's; 1,2,3. Springer @BostonChildrens @HarvardMed use @ATUM_bio constructs. Show TGFß2 is activated by separate integrin. New opportunities for treating fibrosis pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

Recent research by @MyungHyunJO1 @taekjip @XuefengWang11 @timspringerlab & @ipiproteins shows exactly how #integrins harness chemical cues and respond to physical forces.
Curious how it works? Read more here 👇

With Richard Hynes & Erkki Ruoslahti, Springer discovered integrins, cell surface proteins that enable cells to interact with their surroundings
Today, IPI is creating antibodies that can bind to integrins to accelerate #basicresearch and #drugdiscovery
