Shame on the American Diabetes Association for calling the police on its own (‼️) Journal Editor & #ADA2026 presenters.
If I were a donor I would withdraw my donation today.
The board should issue an apology and resign now!
Watch clip, see details below 👇🏼

Our hands-on cell culture course @CReM_Boston for making lung out of iPSCs has kicked off and is running all week. Those smiles you see are from day 2: making endoderm, the first step to engineering lung epithelium! #itsthecells! #helpisontheway! @BU_Tweets @The_BMC

Such a treat to tell our story of how discovering a previously unknown mechanism that controls IPF alveolar epithelial stem cell regeneration also enhances lung resilience against viral infection.

We are back with the 4th edition of this fantastic lung meeting and what a busy day the #FusionLung26 crowd have had!
Amazing talks, sharp questions, and lots of ideas to take back to the lab. We even made time for a quick snorkelling excursion along the beautiful Playa Mujeres coastline 🚤
🔬We are wrapping up this inspiring day with our first fantastic poster session and dinner!
