(1/n) Our article is out in @NatureComms! We set out to examine the contribution of the Let-7 microRNA over alveolar type 2 (AT2) stem cell plasticity in genesis of pulmonary injury and fibrosis in work led by @MJSeasock and Shafiq in my lab.

Thank you @naliphd for this exciting collaboration on inflammasome activation in heart failure. This article, among many strengths, follows up very creatively and convincingly on cell-cell communication alterations inferred using scRNASeq data @BCMFromtheLabs

Better late than never — our paper revealing that fibroblast NLRP3 activation promotes atrial myopathy and diastolic dysfunction is now out in #JACC: Basic to Translational Science!

Impactful work with the @PavlosMsaouel lab, based on epigenomic and transcriptomic integration. We know that science is beautiful, and when editors pick our figures for cover it it further confirms it 🫶
