TitleRudnicki, Michael Anthony: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date14 April 2020
DescriptionCertificate endorsing election of Michael Rudnicki as a Fellow of the Royal Society. Includes personal details of the elected Fellow, citaion giving the reasons for election, and names of proposers. Signed by the Executive Director of the Royal Society, Julie Maxton.
CitationRudnicki's discovery and characterization of muscle stem cells transformed our understanding of myogenesis and suggested novel strategies to treat neuromuscular disease. His work led to the critical insight that the degree of asymmetric stem cell division controls the efficiency of muscle regeneration. Recently, Rudnicki discovered that the disease gene of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), called dystrophin, is expressed in muscle stem cells where its loss results in perturbation of cell polarity, and hence reduced stem cell function. Rudnicki¹s contributions stand out for their clarity and impact not only in myogenesis, but also in the larger field of stem cell biology.
