🎓 Dr. Hooglugt! On October 23rd, Aukie successfully defended his PhD thesis, “Balancing forces: endothelial mechanobiology in vascular dynamics and disease. A huge congratulations from a proud team of supervisors @reinierboon.bsky.social, @huveneerslab.bsky.social & Dr. van der Stoel.

Goodmorning all! The EVBO board is back online! Please see our amazing speaker list and reserve the following dates for the upcoming EVBO autumn seminars. You can registration for the Zoom through the link in the email from our EVBO secretary.

Excited to announce that we will be holding another #mechanobiology across scales symposium this year in beautiful Awaji Island #Japan! We have a star-studded lineup of speakers and it's free participation (free accommodation and food!)! Register here: www.igm.hokudai.ac.jp/85th-fujihar...

Is endothelium a type of epithelium? I am @icfortunato.bsky.social & I would like to discuss this with a short🧵 focused on cell-cell junctions, specifically adherens junctions.

This still is one of our favourite experiments!
