- Reposted by Karina YanivLook how cool, Felix Trogisch and Joerg Heineke highlight our decorin paper academic.oup.com/cardiovascre... in their last editorial in Cardiovascular Research academic.oup.com/cardiovascre.... I love the title 💃🏻💃🏻 Decorin expression is increased by ageing and contributes to inflammation and leakage.

- Reposted by Karina Yaniv#KnowYourZDM: Humans and #zebrafish carrying mutations in VEGFC or its receptor (FLT4) have defects in the formation of their lymphatic systems, which are important for draining lymph back into the circulation system. As a result, these individuals display severe #lymphedema. 🧪

- Reposted by Karina YanivTonight the heroic @standing-together.bsky.social, a movement of Jewish and Palestinan Israeli citizens, disrupted a broadcast of Israeli Big Brother to demand an end to the war. The T-shirt of the activist pictured says “getting out of Gaza”
- Reposted by Karina YanivDuring a live broadcast of Big Brother in Israel, members of Standing Together rush the stage wearing “Leave Gaza” shirts and calling for an end to the genocide and against Netanyahu’s plan for permanent occupation.

- Thanks to all our dear friends for the warm words and offers to help. Weizmann was hit by a missile last night- a devastating nightmare 😭. Thank God no one is hurt, but there’s significant damage to many labs. I’m stuck abroad, waiting desperately to be able to go home to my family and my lab 🙏
- #GRC_Angiogenesis is approaching and we don't want anyone left out due to the current situation! We are actively raising funds to help our American friends and colleagues affected by budget freezes. Reach out to me ASAP if you need help! Let's ensure that politics doesn't get in the way of science!
- Haven’t submitted your abstract for #GRC_Angiogenesis yet? Haven't registered? Now’s the time! ⭐️We’ll start selecting short talks from submitted abstracts on June 20th!⭐️ Don’t miss your chance to share your work with the community at this fantastic meeting! @evborg.bsky.social @navbo.bsky.social
- Reposted by Karina YanivFor all zebrafish folks - seems like there is finally a good/better zebrafish annotation! Check it out - and thanks to Shawn and his team for putting this together!
- Some exciting news! NCBI has finished the annotation pipeline for our new #zebrafish reference sequence GRCz12tu: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/refseq/annot... This is a big step up in data depth and quality and should be super helpful going forward.
- Reposted by Karina YanivOn Friday in Jerusalem something incredible happened. Thousands of us — Jews and Palestinians — stood together in Jerusalem for the People’s Peace Summit, united by something powerful: a refusal to give in to hopelessness, a refusal to let Netanyahu’s war continue. (1/3)
- Spending some quality time in the beautiful desert with my lab brought so much joy and happiness during these challenging days! I am grateful for being able to continue fighting for peace through science and to do it together with such amazing people! @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social
- Another beautiful work from our lab at @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social led by super super-talented student @pina85.bsky.social and co-supervised by Rudra Das and me! So proud of Pina, who worked so hard under the very tough circumstances in Israel, to bring this paper to life! 🌟 All details 👇!

- Reposted by Karina YanivAmazing work from Hans Schoofs and colleagues in Taija Makinen lab. Also a good example how intravital imaging of cellular mosaics can be very informative.
- • Happy to announce that our paper in @nature.com is finally out! Thanks to the perseverance of @taijamakinenlab.bsky.social and our many collaborators we finally pulled it off! A small 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Laymen video: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- A few reflections for Women's Day. I'm honored to be chairing the very prestigious #GRC_Angiogenesis2025, one of the best conferences in the field of vascular biology. As such, I've received several requests over the past few months from scientists interested in being selected for an oral PPT. 1/n
- So far, so good! I love that people are proactive, believe in their research, and take the initiative to promote themselves! But... looking back at my notes, I realize I have not received a single such email from a woman scientist 😔...
- There are many reasons for this, like lacking confidence in the level of one's own research, or feeling it’s not appropriate to contact the organizer—like “no one does that.” I highlight these because they were my own struggles as a young investigator, but I'm sure there are more...
-
View full thread4. And specifically for #GRC_Angiogenesis2025- we are working really hard to make the best out of our meeting. If we missed your work and you feel it deserves to be presented, please email me! I look forward to knowing more about you and your work!
