Researchers mapped how the measles virus mutated and spread in the brain of a person who succumbed to a rare, lethal brain disease. New cases of this disease may occur as measles reemerges among the unvaccinated, say researchers. Learn more: mayocl.in/3vb8Hjm

Absolutely thrilled to share @aaiweiner's thesis work from my lab, out now in @CellReports! In short, loss of the transcription factor p63 increases the ability of basal cells to transdifferentiate into alveolar cells. (1/2) cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

Weiner et al. find that ΔNp63 is required for dysplastic remodeling of the distal lung after severe pulmonary injuries. Without ΔNp63, the basal-like cells responsible for this remodeling either...
