Congratulations Michael, to this beautiful work!

A frequent misconception among people using mouse genetics : CreERT2 + Tamoxifen is VERY toxic to proliferating cells. More than Cre. So all your control mice should have CreERT2 + Tamoxifen. Yes it complicates things a lot, but is the only way fwd. See more on this below 👇

Just submitted (finally!) our manuscript on making floxed alleles in #zebrafish, so we posted on bioRxiv as well. A truly herculean effort from Masahiro on this one! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fantastic review by Christer Betsholtz (Christer Betsholtz) a must-read! Toward a granular molecular-anatomic map of the blood vasculature – single-cell RNA sequencing makes the leap | Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences ujms.net/index.php/ujms…

Ptx3-positive subtype of lymphatic endothelial cells that we name immune-interacting LECs (iLECs) resides at capillary terminals and drives lymphatic malformation through paracrine crosstalk involving pro-lymphangiogenic macrophages

Are you a vascular biologist looking to establish your own group? Fantastic opportunity in Uppsala right now. Apply!!

Congratulations to the 2023 L’Oréal-Unesco For Women in Science-prize recipients.

An amazing opening session for #CVB2023 with Elisabeth Tournier-Lasserve and Maria Lehtinen! 🤩 I was truly mind-blown by Lehtinen Lab’s work on choroid plexus! Beautiful imaging!

Thank you for being here. As researchers it’s invaluable for us to learn about your experience and hear your perspective.

BIG NEWS: Helmholtz has decided to establish the Helmholtz Institute for Translational AngioCardioScience (HI-TAC) as a branch of the Max Delbrück Center on the campus of Uni Heidelberg. This marks a new era for CV research in Germany! Many new exciting jobs (helmholtz.de/newsroom/artik…)
