Some wounds never heal. Dr Yen-Zhen (Angel) Lu is working to change that. Her work reveals how sensory neurons and immune cells coordinate tissue repair and why this matters for chronic wounds. With an ARC DECRA, she is now uncovering how nerves first activate after injury. Read more: bit.ly/4rFbAl7

Adam’s work focuses on the cell’s internal skeleton — microtubules and centrosomes — and how their organisation supports stem cell identity.
By tracking these structures, he’s revealing new insights into how stem cells stay flexible.

What gives stem cells their superpower? 🧬
Adam Rogerson (Zenker Group, ARMI) is investigating how the shape and structure of human stem cells help them stay pluripotent — the ability to become any cell in the body. 🧵

How does ageing differ between men and women?
Dr Robin Grolaux (in @nireynon.bsky.social's group) is studying non-linear DNA methylation patterns that reveal key differences in how men and women age and what that means for inflammation and cancer risk.

By studying shark cardiac regeneration, researchers hope to uncover processes that could one day guide innovative therapies for patients recovering from heart attacks.

By studying shark cardiac regeneration, researchers hope to uncover processes that could one day guide innovative therapies for patients recovering from heart attacks.
Because sharks are such distant relatives in evolution, their heart cells reveal the most conserved and the most fundamental features of regeneration.
“If a process is shared between sharks and other fish, it’s likely to be fundamental, and that gives us powerful clues.” — Dr Benoit Haerlingen

Can sharks teach us how to repair the human heart?
It might sound odd, but these ancient animals hold powerful clues to cardiac regeneration.
