Excited to share our new paper in Nat Comms on how human stem cell-derived pancreatic progenitors choose between islet and enterochromaffin (EC)-like fates - and how we can steer that choice! A story in a few tweets… Full paper 👉 doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Efficient control of enterochromaffin versus islet differentiation from human pluripotent stem cell-derived pancreatic progenitors - Nature Communications
How different islet lineages emerge within pancreatic islets remains largely unknown. Here, using hPSC and mouse models, the authors identify mechanisms that influence islet versus enterochromaffin li...

🧬 Excited to share our latest study now In Press: In this study led by rising star @sarahcolpitts.bsky.social, we show that IL-10⁺ #ILC2s prevent rejection and improve islet graft survival and function in humanized mouse models. Read more: doi.org/10.1016/j.aj... #Immunology #ImmunoSky #CellTherapy

📣 NEW PAPER ALERT! 🧵 I love kidney organoids - tiny nephron clusters grown in the lab from pluripotent stem cells. But can they treat kidney disease? New data suggests they can (in mice)! Let's dive in ⬇️ tinyurl.com/mr3sd6vu #KidneyOrganoids #CellTherapy #ChronicKidneyDisease #AcuteKidneyInjury

Human iPSC–derived nephron progenitor cells treat acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease in mouse models
Expanded human iPSC–derived nephron progenitor cells secrete renoprotective factors that have therapeutic potential for AKI and CKD.
