Research | Kraft et al. identify TIE2 activation as a key driver of PI3KCA-related venous malformations and demonstrate that inhibiting TIE2 signalling can suppress the growth of advanced lesions. rdcu.be/en0hU

We hope these findings bring us closer to better treatments for this challenging condition. #vascularbiology #PIK3CA #venousmalformation Huge thanks to our fantastic collaborators Michael Potente, René Hägerling, Friedrich Kapp, @mvikkula.bsky.social, Laurence Boon, @ruibenedito.bsky.social

One of the reasons I love #DevelopmentalBiology is that it's so visually engaging. I had the pleasure of organising an image competition at the GRC last March, and share this passion. You can now check out these images on @the-node.bsky.social: thenode.biologists.com/grs-developm...

My first post on Bluesky! Very excited to share our work just published in @science.org. We find that “Interphase cell morphology defines the mode, symmetry, and outcome of mitosis” - in angiogenesis and other tissues! www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1... www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...

This work would not have been possible without our many collaborators who provided reagents, lines and much needed support! @ruibenedito.bsky.social, M. Jeansson, @brittae.bsky.social, D. Vestweber, K. Gängel, O. Friedrich, J. van Buul, P. Saharinen, R. Smith and M. Majda and many others!

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.

The oak-leaf cell shape of capillary LECs has been described centuries ago. However using the R26-iMb line developed by @ruibenedito.bsky.social enabled us to illuminate individual cells and their overlaps. This analysis showed that overlaps shrink in response to increased fluid volume.

Happy to share our review on methodology for measuring and manipulating mechanical forces with specific focus on developmental biology! Congrats to authors @clemvilleneuve.bsky.social @mccreery.bsky.social and hats off to the community for developing awesome tools www.nature.com/articles/s41...

On the current status of the NIH by Eric Topol. "I haven’t lost my optimism. I think about how eventually Newton’s Third Law (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction) will come into play and the pendulum will swing backward—what I really mean is forward!"

"Genes are... the easy part" @philipcball.bsky.social argues biologists need to embrace complexity from the start, rather than beginning with oversimplified "one gene, one trait" models +1 www.cell.com/cell-systems...

🔥🔥🔥 I’m obviously biased, but I highly recommend. One of the best places to do science. The only limit is your imagination. Literally!

Finally used "Porto" to migrate our latest X tweets to BlueSky. Below our latest iFlpMosaics paper, presented in this platform for the first time. It enables ratiometric single cell mosaic functional genetics.
