    My lab at @WeizmannScience was completely demolished by the Iranian missile a few days ago. This is hard and sad as nothing was left to save. We study heart regeneration and regenerative medicine. As such, we will regenerate, regrow and rebuild. The one thing that wasn't gone is

    Sad day for the muscle community with the passing of Prof. David Yaffe from our department @WeizmannScience David (born in 1929) has pioneered culture methods for muscle stem cells including the famous C2 cells.

    After 6 years it is time to pass the torch to Shalev Itzkovitz as the new Head of Department of Molecular Cell Biology, in my mind, the best department @WeizmannScience . Great group of scientists

    Exercise rejuvenates muscle stem cells. Could be relevant maybe in the heart too, although it lacks stem cells. Nice 👏 nature.com/articles/s4225…

    Very similar to the regenerative senescence we identified in the injured heart. Senescence can be beneficial if transient. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
