A high-throughput #zebrafish screen identifies novel candidate treatments for Kaposiform Lymphangiomatosis (KLA). New study from Ivan Bassi @ivanbassi.bsky.social, Karina Yaniv @karinayaniv.bsky.social and colleagues @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social: rupress.org/jem/article/... #CardiovascularBiology

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

My friend Alon-Lee Green of the Palestinian-Jewish group @standing-together.bsky.social telling Israeli soldiers to refuse service in Gaza: “Refuse to starve. Refuse to kill. Refuse occupation. Refuse annihilation.”

Tonight the heroic @standing-together.bsky.social, a movement of Jewish and Palestinan Israeli citizens, disrupted a broadcast of Israeli Big Brother to demand an end to the war. The T-shirt of the activist pictured says “getting out of Gaza”

During a live broadcast of Big Brother in Israel, members of Standing Together rush the stage wearing “Leave Gaza” shirts and calling for an end to the genocide and against Netanyahu’s plan for permanent occupation.

🥳🥳 We have more than 100 abstracts submitted for #GRC_Angiogenesis!!! Application deadline is TOMORROW!! don't miss it!

Only 29 days left until one of the best vascular biology conferences out there! @karinayaniv.bsky.social, Anne Eichmann, @brisapalikuqilab.bsky.social and I can't wait to see all of you in Newport!! GRS: www.grc.org/angiogenesis... GRC: www.grc.org/angiogenesis...

This crazy world constantly forces us to adapt to surrounding changes, much like blood vessels do! Last week I shared sad news about @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social 😥. Today, with the ceasefire, I'm hopeful we'll all meet at the #GRC_Angiogenesis next month! Application deadline is June 29th! Link👇

Definitely something to look forward to!!

😢

Thanks to all our dear friends for the warm words and offers to help. Weizmann was hit by a missile last night- a devastating nightmare 😭. Thank God no one is hurt, but there’s significant damage to many labs. I’m stuck abroad, waiting desperately to be able to go home to my family and my lab 🙏

#GRC_Angiogenesis is approaching and we don't want anyone left out due to the current situation! We are actively raising funds to help our American friends and colleagues affected by budget freezes. Reach out to me ASAP if you need help! Let's ensure that politics doesn't get in the way of science!

Haven’t submitted your abstract for #GRC_Angiogenesis yet? Haven't registered? Now’s the time! ⭐️We’ll start selecting short talks from submitted abstracts on June 20th!⭐️ Don’t miss your chance to share your work with the community at this fantastic meeting! @evborg.bsky.social @navbo.bsky.social

For all zebrafish folks - seems like there is finally a good/better zebrafish annotation! Check it out - and thanks to Shawn and his team for putting this together!

On Friday in Jerusalem something incredible happened. Thousands of us — Jews and Palestinians — stood together in Jerusalem for the People’s Peace Summit, united by something powerful: a refusal to give in to hopelessness, a refusal to let Netanyahu’s war continue. (1/3)

Spending some quality time in the beautiful desert with my lab brought so much joy and happiness during these challenging days! I am grateful for being able to continue fighting for peace through science and to do it together with such amazing people! @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social

Another beautiful work from our lab at @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social led by super super-talented student @pina85.bsky.social and co-supervised by Rudra Das and me! So proud of Pina, who worked so hard under the very tough circumstances in Israel, to bring this paper to life! 🌟 All details 👇!

What a fantastic meeting of the European lymphatic community! Lots of new faces and many young people joining the lymphatic crowd! So exciting! Thanks a lot to the organizers for bringing us together in beautiful Toulouse!

So well deserved!!! Such an honor to have trained in this lab! Brant is an amazing scientist and a wonderful human being! Many congratulations!

📢 #GRC_Angiogenesis program is up! We have an amazing lineup of speakers ready to dive into the "social life" of vessels! How they engage with their neighbors, how they connect, and why they break up! Plus we have ~15 slots available for short talks! Apply (link 👇) and see you in Newport in July!

Amazing work from Hans Schoofs and colleagues in Taija Makinen lab. Also a good example how intravital imaging of cellular mosaics can be very informative.

A few reflections for Women's Day. I'm honored to be chairing the very prestigious #GRC_Angiogenesis2025, one of the best conferences in the field of vascular biology. As such, I've received several requests over the past few months from scientists interested in being selected for an oral PPT. 1/n

Scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute set out to sequence the #zebrafish genome in 2001, completing it in 2013. This revealed zfish have more than 26k protein-coding genes (more than humans) and that around 70% of human genes have at least one similar gene in zfish. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪
