Broad has launched the Biology of Adversity Project, led by @JD_Buenrostro a 2023 @macfound fellow, to uncover how adverse life experiences can inflict molecular “scars” in the genome and body and increase risk of heart disease and other disorders. broad.io/BAP

Paul Frenette was a cherished colleague and friend whose creativity changed forever how we think about hematopoiesis and the bone marrow niche. His greatness in science was matched by his warmth, kindness and humor. We deeply mourn his loss and celebrate his life. @PaulFrenette

Scientists in the @ScaddenLab at @harvardstemcell have discovered that the presence of fatty acids in blood at a fracture site drives conversion of #SkeletalProgenitorCells to bone-forming cells, while the absence generates cartilage cells. bit.ly/2T8oqdz

Could we control #stemcell differentiation and #cartilage production by altering the supply of blood and fatty acids? New research from @Harvard and @leuvenU suggests maybe so. Read the latest news on RegMedNet now. bit.ly/2w61qRMN
