Fibroblast depletion reveals mammalian epithelial resilience across neonatal and adult stages.
Journal article The Journal of cell biology · August 2026 Regenerative organs, like the skin, depend on niche-stem cell interactions that sustain cellular turnover. In culture, skin fibroblasts promote epidermal stem cell proliferation and differentiation. Yet, it remains elusive how fibroblasts regulate epiderma ...

Journal article Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America · June 2026 Ca2+ signaling and its regulation are important for endothelial cell (EC) function and signaling. Yet, the spatiotemporal organization of Ca2+ activity and its regulation across a vascular plexus is poorly understood in an in vivo mam ...

Preprint · July 14, 2025 AbstractAstrocytes are highly complex cells that mediate critical roles in synapse formation and maintenance by establishing thousands of direct contacts with synapses through their perisynaptic processes. Here, we ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
