Excited to announce the final versions of my paper on the role of the internal elastic lamina in resistance arteries and my review on pannexins in the vasculature are out! Thank you to the co-authors for your great work! Links in 🧵

@maurolillog Thank you Mauricio!

Excited to share my first non-pannexin paper! 🎉

@mf_navedo @conn_pann_fun Thank you Manuel, I appreciate it!

@conn_pann_fun @b_odonnell17 And an amazing year so far! Congrats @b_odonnell17 !

Fun new work by @b_odonnell17 and (twitterless) Claire Ruddiman on the role of elastin in regulating alpha hemoglobin in endothelium. Two first author papers by Dr O’Donnell in as many days! ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/HY…

@DrSilviaPenuela Thank you Silvia! 😂

@b_odonnell17 Where is the dislike button? Just kidding, great paper. Congrats to all!

@HaoYin20 Thank you for sharing!

Thanks to @UVACVRC for the shoutout! Happy National Postdoc Appreciation Week 🎉

Mark your calendars for the International Gap Junction Conference #IGJC2026 in Padua Italy! It will be July 25-29, 2026. More details to come soon from the European organizing committee

@mf_navedo @ucdavis @UCDavisHealth Congrats Manuel! 🎉

A little bit late but I’m honored and humbled to have been selected back in May as the recipient of the 2025 @ucdavis, @UCDavisHealth Research Award! This recognition belongs to the M&M Lab members!

@DrSilviaPenuela @WesternU @SchulichMedDent @westernuACB Congrats Silvia, well-deserved 🎉

Grateful to end the academic year with lots to celebrate! Thanks to @WesternU for the Faculty Scholar Award, to @SchulichMedDent and @westernuACB for the nomination, and to all the support from colleagues, family and my amazing lab team!

Well, I guess this might be the best way to celebrate the end of 2024 and welcome the new year of 2025: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

@conn_pann_fun @zuza_juskiewicz @vascularbiology Way to go team 🎉

Happy Donut Friday to these three! Zuza (@zuza_juskiewicz) received an AHA for work on Piezo2, Wyatt received BOTH an AHA and a F31 for work on basophils, and Skylar received an F31 for work on lymphatic alpha globin! Honored to have them in lab! (Pic from 2024 @vascularbiology)

From our lab to yours, happy holidays!

Thoroughly enjoyed my first vascular conference at ISRA in Helsingør, Denmark where I shared our work on the physiological roles of PANX1 phosphorylation in the vasculature. Thank you to the organizers for the opportunity! @2024_ISRA #ISRA2024

@astrecyte @American_Heart Congrats Tre!

After attempts at two F31s, two F32s, and a BrightFocus postdoctoral fellowship- I'm thrilled to announce I've received a two year postdoctoral fellowship from the American Heart Association @American_Heart There are several people/entities I'd like to thank. 1/5

@DrSilviaPenuela @StephLeighton_ @westernuACB @SchulichMedDent Great work @StephLeighton_ 🎉

Proud PI moment yesterday at @StephLeighton_ departmental seminar @westernuACB Excellent job, Steph! 👏🏼

@DanStefan_ @DrSilviaPenuela @skl_sam @Path_Matt Thanks Dan, congrats on your first co-authorship!

@b_odonnell17 @DrSilviaPenuela @skl_sam @Path_Matt Congratulations Brooke!

Thrilled to share the second paper published from my PhD work investigating how PANX1 and PANX3 regulate the cancer cell properties of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma doi.org/10.1113/JP2861… 🧵/1
