loved participating in the 2024 Tine Haworth Cardiovascular Research Day @LibinInstitute!

Brain #pericytes are critical regulators of endothelial barrier function. @Ahuja_Suchit @SarahChildsYYC &co show that the TF nkx3.1 is critical for generating an intermediate precursor cell state necessary for normal development of pericytes #PLOSBiology plos.io/4bedKiE

From @Ahuja_Suchit @SarahChildsYYC @LibinInstitute #Zebrafish🐟 #Pericyte progenitors🤠 The development of brain pericytes requires expression of the transcription factor nkx3.1 in intermediate precursors nkx3.1-dependent cxcl12b⏫#Pericyte abundance Does cxcl12b derived from various mesenchymal or endothelial cell populations act similarly on pericyte development? Excited to see this story published in peer-reviewed form! Will read & learn again!😁 @PLOSBiology 2024 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

@NatashaOBrown1 Yes!

Happy holidays from a zebrafish lab! Here are some brain pericytes in a 5 dpf larvae resembling beautiful lights on a tree 🎄

Had an amazing time at the 2023 ACHRI Retreat. Stunning views, incredible people, and so many thought-provoking conversations. Walking away hopeful in the #OneChildEveryChild research initiative. @UofCr4kids

Another top-20 finish for @dancastranova and #WeinsteinLab!! @NikonSmallWorld 🤩

The extensive coverage of pericytes and vSMCs in the adult zebrafish brain is astounding! 🧠 #FluorescenceFriday

@ShakMHossain This is actually CUBIC clearing which allows for retention of fluorescent protein signals (pdgfrB:GFP and kdrl:mCherry), no antibody staining was required.

My first #FluorescenceFriday is a glimpse into the vasculature of an adult zebrafish 🧠 with blood vessels labelled in red and pericytes in cyan.

No vein no gain: a venous origin for blood vessel defects Read this Research Highlight showcasing work from Jasper Greysson-Wong @jgreyssonwong, Sarah Childs @SarahChildsYYC and colleagues: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

What an amazing experience with fantastic people and pioneers in the field of vascular development! Thank you to the wonderful organizers @cleaverlab and @KarinaYaniv ! #GRCAngiogenesis2023

Thanks again to everyone who made the 2023 Tine Haworth Cardiovascular Research Day a success. Please join us in congratulating our award winners! 🎉👏
