We received funding from the Oklahoma Center for Adult Stem Cell Research (OCASCR) to complete studies using novel approaches to determine the necessity of muscle satellite stem cells for muscle growth. These studies will look at the capacity of muscle to regenerate in the absence of satellite cells. PhD student Jaime Laurin and Staff Scientist Shadi Khademi will be working hard on these projects.
Congratulations to lab member Marcus Lawrence for receiving a T32 Post-doc fellowship in Geroscience. This fellowship is an important career step for Marcus and provides him great resources as he works toward other independent awards.
