📢 A new episode is out!

We chat with Dr. Juan Melero-Martin (@meleromartinlab.bsky.social about how #VascularNetworks are formed and the mechanisms by which the vasculature modulates the engraftment and activity of various human stem cells.

This week’s round-up spans species from birds to sheep, and now, fittingly, to dogs!

We dive into a new study from Japanese researchers, who have successfully established culture conditions for #canine iPSCs.

Do sarcomeres disassemble when a cardiac myocyte (heart muscle cell) enters mitosis as the literature suggests? Not completely. Here is a cardiac myocyte in metaphase. There are plenty of stacks of myosin II filaments (the core of each sarcomere) hanging about. #CellBiology

New work from Dr. Shamil Sunyaev at @harvard.edu shows that as men age, harmful genetic mutations in #sperm not only accumulate but are favored during sperm production, giving them a reproductive advantage.
