#ICYMI our deep dive into ALK1 biology, at the intersection between angiogenesis and immunology with clear implication for the targeting of immunomodulatory cues & cancer therapy!

So much pride, so much joy! ❤️ @kpietraslab.bsky.social

Incredible skills, knowledge, endurance, passion, and joy went into the making of this study by main authors @matteobocci.bsky.social, Mehrnaz Safaee-Talkhoncheh, and Jonas Sjölund. We also thank all co-authors, and especially acknowledge the work of undergraduate and graduate students. 5/6

We have been waiting impatiently but can finally share our latest efforts in understanding the biology of the TGF-beta type I receptor ALK1 (gene name ACVRL1), see graphical abstract in post and the full article here: www.jci.org/articles/vie... 1/6
