- Simply delighted to end the year with the acceptance of Yan’s paper www.nature.com/articles/s41.... It was a heroic effort on her part, and many thanks to all our collaborators for their help! @vizcie.bsky.social @juliaeckert.bsky.social
- Another successful #leducq #ReVAMP meeting held at Orford, Canada! Great science, food and friendship... Thanks @ondinecleaver.bsky.social for hosting us and showing us the way up the mountain! A la prochaine!
- Thanks to the generosity of #FujiharaFoundation and the excellent organization of Fumio Motegi and his team, the ' #Mechanics of Life Across Scales' symposium was held successfully at beautiful Awaji. We had 3 days of fantastic #mechanobiology talks with speakers from Japan, India, Europe and US.
- Missing @yuchiunwang.bsky.social in the group photo!
- Special thanks to @ybellaichelab.bsky.social, @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social, @herveturlier.bsky.social, Lance Davidson, Elisabeth Fischer-Friedrich, Madan Rao, Yusuke Toyama and Fengzhu Xiong for making the long journey to Japan. And to @rashmi-priya.bsky.social for making a special appearance!
- And many thanks to speakers from Japan: @satsawai.bsky.social, @ashindo.bsky.social, @sugimuralab.bsky.social, Takashi Hiiragi, Fumio Motegi, Tatsuo Shibata, Hirokazu Tanimoto, Satoshi Toda and Fumiko Toyoshima
- Had the absolute pleasure of hosting the Leducq ReVAMP biannual meeting @riken-bdr.bsky.social in Kobe this spring! #endothelial #mechanobiology #vascularmalformations See you all again in Fall @ondinecleaver.bsky.social @mvikkula.bsky.social
- Check us out @the-node.bsky.social !
- Lab Meeting with the Phng Lab Meet the lab of @phnglab.bsky.social, based @riken-bdr.bsky.social, Kobe, Japan. The lab is interested in vascular #morphogenesis, in particular, endothelial cell mechanobiology in #zebrafish 🐟 Find out more about the lab and what it's like working at RIKEN BDR:
- Thank you @the-node.bsky.social for inviting me to write a 'Behind the Story' piece on our recent study! Exploring the Uncharted Waters of Endothelial Tip Cell Migration: A Story of Aquaporins, Hydrostatic Pressure, and Angiogenesis thenode.biologists.com/exploring-th...
- At #RIKEN BDR, women represent 10% of PIs, 31% of researchers, 38% of students and 74% of technical staff. On #IDWGIS last month, we celebrated their achievements and contributions to research at BDR. www.bdr.riken.jp/en/news/bdr-... #internationalwomensday
- Chuffed to find out that our work was featured as an Insight article in @elife.bsky.social elifesciences.org/articles/106.... Thank you Sean Sun and colleague for highlighting our work!
- Read the Research Highlight here! www.riken.jp/en/news_pubs... @RIKEN BDR
- Happy to announce that the final version of our paper on #endothelial cell #migration #mechanobiology, #angiogenesis, #hydrostaticpressure is out on @elife.bsky.social doi.org/10.7554/eLif... !! In our revised paper, we show that disrupted osmotic gradient and water inflow impair tip cell migration!
- Excited to announce that we will be holding another #mechanobiology across scales symposium this year in beautiful Awaji Island #Japan! We have a star-studded lineup of speakers and it's free participation (free accommodation and food!)! Register here: www.igm.hokudai.ac.jp/85th-fujihar...
