Vascular and Tumor Biology Lab @OncoUNILCHUV @unil. We study organ- and disease-specific functions of lymphatic and blood vessels.




#Eosinophils–usually linked to infection and disease–are actually helping to build the gut. New research from @PetrovaLab & @JBernierLatmani shows they reprogram fibroblasts into villus smooth muscle cells, helping shape and mature the villi postnatally. hubs.la/Q04ggV0t0
