Petrova Lab – Vascular and Tumor Biology

Our new study is out! 🎉 Driven by MD-PhD Ludivine Bersier, our work shows how chemotherapy‑induced gut injury creates a systemic “chemomemory” that protects against colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastasis. 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s41467… 🧵 Thread 👇

The 2nd European Lymphatic Symposium will take place April 15–17, 2027 in beautiful Budapest. 📅Save the date! #ELS2027

Congrats, well done Claudia and Stefanie! Thanks to @EVB_Org for support!

From breakthroughs in human genetics to strategies for drug delivery via and to the lymphatic system - last day at GRC Lymphatics 2026 was a blast! Congrats to everyone for making this conference a success! 🙌 See you in 2028 as we pass the torch to @KarinaYaniv & Mark Kahn!

Wednesday - Day 4 of the GRC Lymphatics 2026! More big topics on the table today: - Lymphatics & cancer - Immunological surveillance of tissues via lymph - Lymphatic endothelium as active player in immunity Lots of hard work ...and also a bit of play. 😄

🤩Two more exciting days at GRC Lymphatics 2026! We’re exploring big questions: -Developmental origins of lymphatics -Lymphatic mechanotransduction -Organ‑specific lymphatics and new therapies Looks like an incubator for many new collaborations!

🚀GRC Lymphatics 2026 kicked off! 🚀 Great mix of old and new friends, many exciting new results - amazing to see the field growing. Chair & co-chair in the pic. Very sorry Brant Weinstein and Karina Yaniv @KarinaYaniv aren’t here - we miss you!

@ulvmar_maria Good news European Lymphatic Symposium will take place in 2027 in Budapest! Stay tuned and let’s catch up there !

@PetrovaLab So sad to miss out this time but wish everyone amazing time with lots of discussions and new knowledge!

‼️Only 1 day to go‼️ grc.org/lymphatics-con…

@Lucie_JExpMed See you soon Lucie!

Very much looking forward to attending the GRC Lymphatics meeting in a few weeks! Get in touch if you would like to chat, I'll be there all week! ✨

🚨 SAVE-THE-DATE 🚨 SEEON ANGIOSCIENCE! Fantastic, long-running meeting on Development & Maintenance of the Vasculature. 🗓️ Sept 2026 🌍 Bavaria, Germany Registration open! Join us! vwfb.de/start/registra…

🎉 The full GRS and GRC Lymphatics 2026 programs are now online! Amazing lineup of speakers and science. 🧬✨ grc.org/lymphatics-grs… grc.org/lymphatics-con…

Cornelia Halin’s lab @ETH_en paper @JExpMed on human skin lymphatic transcriptome is selected @EVB_Org paper of the month! Congrats ! 🎈🎊🎉 evbo.org/index.php/pape… ➡️rupress.org/jem/article/22…

@Milena_kp Thank you Milena!

A great new read from @PetrovaLab !

🎉 Huge congrats to Dr. Anna Köck on her successful PhD defense! She uncovered a new protein complex that limits nutrient uptake by the endothelial barrier with implications for metabolism, obesity, and drug delivery. 🔥 One paper accepted, another coming soon: stay tuned! 🌟

Why do patients with VWF deficiency get GI bleeding❓ Randi's lab @LabAnna shows how VWF loss and disrupted Angpt/Tie2 balance unleashes an Angpt2-driven abnormal gut vessel remodeling ashpublications.org/blood/article/… Delighted to have contributed to this work!
