Petrova Lab – Vascular and Tumor Biology

.@JExpMed July issue is here! hubs.la/Q04ngxdh0 Roci et al. @petrovalab demonstrate that lymphatic endothelial cells require the water channel AQP1 for stress-adaptive lymphangiogenesis. This confocal image captures that dependency directly (1/2): hubs.la/Q04ngKTn0

Spotlight: Nicola Diny @UniklinikBonn previews a study from @petrovalab et al. (hubs.la/Q04kvJwJ0) which reveals that #eosinophils drive a developmental program for postnatal intestinal remodeling and maturation. hubs.la/Q04ks9f70 #Development

Irena Roci et al. @PetrovaLab show that the water channel AQP1 sustains lymphatic endothelial cell migration under osmotic stress, establishing tissue #osmolarity as a key biophysical determinant of postnatal #lymphangiogenesis. hubs.la/Q04jyN2W0 #lymphatics #AQP1

#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

The cover of our May issue (hubs.la/Q04flyNK0) is a confocal microscopy image of an immunostained mouse fat sample depicting Laminin α4–positive white #adipocytes (gray) & Pecam1-positive blood capillaries (gold). By Wetternwald, Köck, Petrova et al. hubs.la/Q04flBnH0
