@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

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

Writing exam questions is extreme sport

See? There's money! What would be great, instead, is to increase the budget for the existing schemes, though 🧪

This week, a school class dove into the heart of cardiovascular science at the CPI! Their curiosity and enthusiasm shone through as they worked hands-on, turning complex biology into an unforgettable learning experience.💓🔬 #STEMEducation #HandsOnLearning #CardioScience cpi-online.de/news/labvisi...

Thank you very much @campagnololab.bsky.social for the invitation to present our work at the fantastic #BMVBS25 meeting in Surrey. I am having a lot of fun 💃🏻 @sfb1531.bsky.social @instcardregffm.bsky.social @cpi-exstra.bsky.social Thanks @andyogenesis.bsky.social for the picture :) #GoPericytes
