Call for European 2030 IVBM Bid Application deadline is March 1st, 2026. More information:https://evbo.org/index.php/call-for-european-2030-ivbm-bid/

Controversial opinion: it is not possible to propose a truely innovative and cutting edge proposal more than a year in advance to funding commencement and then deliver exactly that 🙄! Research must be dynamic and relevant 🧬🔮

📣Registration is now open for the Gordon Research Seminar and Gordon Research Conference on Lymphatics 2026! Half of the talks will be selected from submitted abstracts. Don’t miss your chance to share your work! grc.org/lymphatics-g... grc.org/lymphatics-c...

Wow, that was fast @jmccardiology.bsky.social! Our article exploring the protective role of Snhg15 after myocardial infarction is already available :) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Congratulations to all authors, specially to the infatigable @MarianaShumliakivska! (I'll get her to @bsky.app)

You are looking for a Postdoc position to advance your career at a world-leading institution in cardiopulmonary research? We invite you to apply for our highly competitive Postdoc Grants: cpi-online.de/uncategorize...

Looking forward to present!

Look 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.

More cool vascular science for the EVBO community. Tuesday, 28th of October, 3.00 pm CET.

Well, this was a tough one. We have done a bit of research while coming back from Granada, and the closest hit we find is the northern wheatear, a curious and savvy species that thrives at both sides of the Atlantic, as @leahvanicek.bsky.social will surely do!

It is Sunday. Act accordingly! Schiller, Wilhelm und Alexander v. Humboldt und Goethe in Jena

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Enjoy it while it lasts

@navbo.bsky.social 2025 starts this Sunday and the great @leahvanicek.bsky.social will be flying the colours of the @instcardregffm.bsky.social. She will present her work on HFpEF and microvascular cells. Watch out for funky pericyte stuff 💃🏻🤘🏻🫀 @cpi-exstra.bsky.social @dzhk.de @sfb1531.bsky.social

Interested in the heterogeneity of blood vessels in the CNS? Here we review the unique features of the spinal cord vasculature, its barrier properties and neurovascular interactions, highlighting unknown aspects and future research directions. @CRC1366 @erc.europa.eu @immunosens.bsky.social

Only a few days left to apply to join the lab, come have fun with lasers and fish to answer some cool questions along the gut-brain axis. Denmark is also a lovely country to live in!

Sharing this excellent review now out from postdoc Sarah McLarnon! Lots of useful info on 3D imaging, quantification of imaging data, and how this has been applied to the kidney. And since it's #FluorescenceFriday, sharing a figure with our own imaging data! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This week at @instcardregffm.bsky.social we celebrate that the one and only Lukas Rehr handed in his master thesis. He explored the role of ageing on the cardiac ECM and microvasculature. All the best for the future! 💃🏻✊🏻 @goetheuni.bsky.social @cpi-exstra.bsky.social

Good coffee, good science!

When people in the lab know you too well...

Pls spread the word! We have a postdoc position available in the Rocha Lab @mpi-muenster.bsky.social. Join our team to study mechanisms underlying robust organ development using zebrafish embryos and human organoids. mpi-muenster.mpg.de/career

And the Microvasculature and Extracellular Matrix in cardiac ageing and disease Spain Tour 2025 comes to an end with a visit to @cicbiogune.bsky.social. Thank you very much for having me, it has been a blast 💃🏻 @instcardregffm.bsky.social @cpi-exstra.bsky.social @sfb1531.bsky.social

It is Sunday. Act accordingly.

@leahvanicek.bsky.social and I are back at the @instcardregffm.bsky.social after a fantastic week visiting @jldelapompa-cnic.bsky.social at @CNIC. Always a pleasure to collaborate with them and a real joy to reconnect with so many good old friends!💃🏻🫀🤘🏻 @cpi-exstra.bsky.social @sfb1531.bsky.social

Oi, vascular biology @bsky.app, look who joined the party -> @leahvanicek.bsky.social. If you are into cardiac pericytes, ageing and disease, you can't miss her :) (or rather, because. Who doesn't like cardiac pericytes?) @instcardregffm.bsky.social @cpi-exstra.bsky.social @goetheuni.bsky.social

This week we had @gluxan.bsky.social and @leahvanicek.bsky.social from @instcardregffm.bsky.social . They flew from Frankfurt am Main to Madrid as red kites do around this time each year, and brought great science under their wings! Looking forward to learning about how your projects develop!

My lab @mpi-muenster.bsky.social is looking for a computational biologist with a passion for imaging and spatial biology. A staff scientist position with long-term perspective! Apply and spread the word 🙏 jobs.mpi-muenster.mpg.de/jobposting/0...

Woohoo! Fantastic speakers 💃🏻💃🏻 Looking forward to meeting y'all there :)

At the @sfb1531.bsky.social retreat with @cbodemer.bsky.social presenting our latest data and cool future plans. We are having fun interacting with colleagues and designing new and exciting collaborations 💃🏻💃🏻 @instcardregffm.bsky.social @dzhk.de @cpi-exstra.bsky.social @goetheuni.bsky.social

Many conserved exons in the heart and brain utilize weak 5 ′ splice sites, yet they are accurately spliced. But how? We show that splicing fidelity is actively enforced through a QKI-U6 checkpoint at the U1→U6 handover in essential cardiac genes during organogenesis. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It is Sunday. Act accordingly.

As an public outreach platform, linked to our Institute of Neurovascular Cell Biology at UKBonn, the Immunosensation Cluster ‪ @immunosens.bsky.social, and our ERC Consolidator grant @erc.europa.eu‬, together with artist Paula Urrutia @sciart-is-cool.bsky.social, we have created NeuVa ART Lab.

Captain it's Wednesday

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Happy to see our work, led by @ivanbassi.bsky.social, out today in @jem.org! #Zebrafish help us find new treatments for a #rare_disease affecting #lymphatic vessels! Congrats to all authors and thanks to #MDBRide4Rare, #ODC_UPenn, @erc.europa.eu for support @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

🚨 Excited to share that our latest study on the role of inflammatory activation in endothelial cells during the infarct response is now published in Circulation Research! Huge thanks to all co-authors—especially Lukas, Till, Simone, and Ariane—for driving this project forward.

I’m happy that research and development in Germany 🇩🇪 are striving - still so many things to do adopt an open and inclusive culture at German universities.

🎉 To mark the fourth extension of the CPI, we celebrated our success at the @mpi-hlr.bsky.social 🥳 We are delighted about the renewed funding and would like to thank everyone who made this step possible! Read more in the latest issue of "Synapse": www.unimedizin-ffm.de/fileadmin/re...

That's how I like to start the summer! Our story identifying decorin as a novel player in cardiovascular ageing just got published in #CardiovascularResearch 💃🏻💃🏻 Congratulations to all authors and thanks to @ekfstiftung.bsky.social that made this study possible academic.oup.com/cardiovascre...

It's not procrastination i'm thinking

🎉 Huge congratulations to @cbodemer.bsky.social for taking home the Poster Prize, and to @gluxan.bsky.social for earning the Young Investigator Award at the Gordon Research Conference in Ventura, California! 🏆👏 Your hard work and innovation continue to inspire. #GRC2025 #ScientificExcellence

On my way home from the Vascular Biomechanics GRC. What a cool meeting! Loads of fun and great science. Thank you for having us (@cbodemer.bsky.social) presenting our science. I'm honoured by the young Investigator award! Olé!💃🏻 @instcardregffm.bsky.social @sfb1531.bsky.social @cpi-exstra.bsky.social

Pics from the Vascular Biomechanics GRC 2025 Ventura, pushing the envelope in bioengineering, human vascular imaging, and new ideas to study blood vessel diseases. Congrats to organizers Kim Van Der Heiden, Tzung Hsiai, Eno Ebong, and Paul Evans!🧠❤️👏🏼

I am very happy to participate in the #GRCBiomechanics in Ventura and present some of our latest data. Thank you very much for the invitation :) The meeting is being tons of fun and I even made it to the beach 💃🏻💃🏻 @sfb1531.bsky.social @instcardregffm.bsky.social @cpi-exstra.bsky.social

And he won the poster price. What a hero! 💃🏻💃🏻
