Dr Gur-Cohen was awarded with the 2024 V Foundation Award, funded with support from the Michael Toshio Cure for Cancer Foundation
Shiri Gur-Cohen, PhD – V Foundation
Funded with support from the Michael Toshio Cure for Cancer Foundation When a patient is diagnosed with cancer, they start treatment hoping to get rid of the unhealthy cells. But some cancers, including a common and aggressive type called squamous cell carcinoma, have an unsettling ability to resist treatment. When cancer cells escape therapy, patients […]

Lymphatic system found to play key role in hair regeneration
Lymphatic system found to play key role in hair regeneration – News
Given the amount of wear and tear it’s subjected to on a daily basis, the skin has a phenomenal ability to replenish itself. Spread throughout it are small reservoirs of stem cells, nested within supportive microenvironments called niches, which keep a tight rein on this repair process. Too much tis…

Hair regrowth depends on lymphatic system, finds study giving hope to find way to cure baldness
Stem cells throughout the skin need to work together, in order to help in hair regrowth. By using a molecular communication tool as part of the lymphatic system the cells can synchronize their activities.

Once or twice a month I do a post on notable stem cell publications and news, which often but not always include research on iPS cells. It’s sort of a recommended reads kind of post, but I often include one or two things that aren’t necessarily recommended exactly yet seem kind of surprising or nove…
