🥁 #IVBM2024 has opened its doors with a bang 🥁 IVBM 2024

Amazing time at the IVBM 2024 with inspiring science and great interactions with the vascular community. Our Lab is well presented with a stimulating presentation by Ralf H. Adams and many exciting posters from my colleagues!

Fantastic @IVBM2024meeting ❤️in Amsterdam! Inspiring science talks, poster presentations, amazing vascular community and atmosphere! Super grateful to the organizers for the opportunity to present our work and to Ralf H. Adams, MPI Molecular Biomedicine and @Sfb1348 for the incredible support!

Fibroblasts are everywhere in our tissue as structural cells, yet we are only beginning to understand them. Today in nature, we report that lung-specialized alveolar fibroblasts orchestrate lung homeostasis, inflammation, and fibrosis. 🧵👇(1/n) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share our (Kishor K Sivaraj, Paul-Georg Majev, Backialakshmi Dharmalingam, Ralf H. Adams) new findings on “Endothelial signals in bone marrow fibrosis” -just published in Nature Cardiovascular Research. Thanks to all co-authors, and special thanks to Rebekka Schneider and #Bella for all their helps and support.

Why Lungs and Vasculature Matter! I am excited to share my recent work. nature.com/articles/s4146… I am deeply grateful to Ralf H. Adams and all other collaborators (esp. Prof. Lydia, Van Buul Lab) and colleagues(Hyun-Woo Jeong Bong-Ihn Koh Esther Bovay).

Join us Tuesday September 24th at 1:00PM ET for a #NAVBO symposium on the role of microcirculation in lung pathology feat. Drs. Vaughan, Yuan, & Knipe! Organized by J 👉 Register tinyurl.com/yu26kt3n Andy Vaughan also on bluesky Ke Yuan @rsknipe

Happy to share the work from my Masters on Collateral Development in the Brain 🧠

Each month an #egg is ovulated from the #ovary, starting the journey of reproduction. But how does ovulation occur?🥚 Our latest work in Nature Cell Biology led by Christopher Thomas and Tabea Marx, describes the control of #ovulation using live imaging. bit.ly/3Ya8dEL (1/7)

Our latest out today nature! We revisit a century-old theory and show that metabolic gradients work hand-in-hand with genetic&signalling instructions to shape the embryo. Glucose isn't just an energy source, it acts as a major conductor of the body plan🍬 nature.com/articles/s4158…

The good idea comes when one person feels comfortable enough to say something that might make them look stupid and their friend is open enough to recognize its potential.

In what might be my final post in this place... Our newest paper in Nature Cardiovascular Research! Led by an amazing grad student Joanna Wong. We demonstrate pulmonary veins sprout and differentiate into capillary cells after severe lung injury. nature.com/articles/s4416…

Mara Pitulescu Mara Pitulescu becomes a new Independent Research Group leader MPI Molecular Biomedicine from Jan. 1, 2025. She will investigate the molecular code of organ-specific vascular patterning in health and disease. All the best for your Research Group! mpi-muenster.mpg.de/753146/2024121…

Important paper from MorriseyLab Science Magazine advances our understanding of lung regeneration. #mustread! "An injury-induced mesenchymal-epithelial cell niche coordinates regenerative responses in the lung science.org/doi/abs/10.112…

Great to see this paper published nature today! Kudos to Yinshan and the team🥳 "RUNX2 promotes fibrosis via an alveolar-to-pathological fibroblast transition" nature.com/articles/s4158…

Researchers from Dr. Taija Mäkinen's lab (vascular development lab), including Dr. Hans Schoofs and Nina Daubel investigated the specialization of lymphatic capillaries in the dermal vasculature of the mouse ear. | nature 🔗 go.nature.com/4iG5GuO 🗞️ bit.ly/4iCTifH

What began as a simple dream of adding ‘Dr. rer. nat.’ before my name became far more than that-a journey of personal growth, resilience and purpose. Grateful for the science, mice and research—and most of all, the people who kept me going. Thank you! 🫁🧬🐁🫂👩‍🎓
