This paper would not have been possible without the outstanding perseverance and creativity of first author Ji-Hyung Lee, and we couldn’t be prouder of what he accomplished. Also sincerely grateful to our incredible collaborators-Jeff Dilworth, Kiran Nakka, Roger Greenberg, Patrick Seale!

We discovered a previously unrecognized role for TRF2 in preserving muscle stem cell identity and enabling muscle regeneration-a finding that changes how we think about this classic telomere protein and opens new directions for understanding muscle’s remarkable regeneration capability.

I’m thrilled to finally share our work published today in Science Advances! Sometimes the most interesting discoveries come from asking old proteins new questions. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

TRF2 couples muscle stem cell identity to regenerative repair

Beyond telomere protection, TRF2 couples stem cell identity to regenerative repair through lineage-specific gene regulation.

How It Feels to Be a Scientist in 2025

Personal Perspective: NIH has been hamstrung, which will have catastrophic effects on scientific progress and academic science. This is how it feels to be a scientist in the middle of this storm.

Science is under attack. The NIH, the NSF, and our research universities. So today, I have a message for America's scientists: youtu.be/MeoZDPy5cIY?...

Looking to conduct research in molecular biology and genetics? Come join the Kardon lab! Looking for lab tech to help research the role of stem cells in muscle development and regeneration and determine the effects of viral infection on muscle. Funding independent of federal resources. Please share!
