TGF-β2 regulates tissue repair & disease processes including fibrosis. It was assumed to be resistant to activation by integrins, but work in @TimSpringerLab, led by Viet Le, shows it's activated by integrin αVβ6, with implications for therapeutic design: ms.spr.ly/6011gmR9D

Luke - Slovenia is beautiful and less crowded than other mountain destinations. If you organize a trip there I am in.
Biotech people bonding in the mountains. Hmmm. Interesting. I've not been to Slovenia...

Much ancient technology was so highly advanced that it exceeds our own in many areas.
The Tripitaka Koreana - carved on 81258 woodblocks in the 13th century - is the most successful large data transfer over time yet achieved by humankind. 52 million characters of information, transmitted over nearly 8 centuries with zero data loss - an unequalled achievement. 1/

Enjoyed hanging with UC Berkeley MCB grads after commencement. They have a brilliant future, and said my speech had inspired them never to stop challenging themselves and never stop learning. It was joyful to share my experiences. youtu.be/EWguiYQJNfA
