Cell state transitions are essential for embryos to develop, wounds to heal and diseases to progress. Still, the mechanisms that coordinate the transitions of cells within tissues from one state to another are not fully understood. In my talk I will discuss our advances in studying how physical forces that emerge from tissue interplay integrate with biochemical frameworks to coordinate robust cell state transitions in time and space.

Elaine Fuchs has spent decades uncovering why our bodies are so good at regenerating skin—and how we might harness that understanding to combat illness, hair loss, and possibly the aging process itself.

Scientists can finally answer an old question about cellular aging

Replicative aging of human cells, the result of telomere shortening, is slower at physiological oxygen than at atmospheric oxygen, a difference now shown to be due to low oxygen impairing the ATM kinase response to withered telomeres.
