Look how cool, Felix Trogisch and Joerg Heineke highlight our decorin paper academic.oup.com/cardiovascre... in their last editorial in Cardiovascular Research academic.oup.com/cardiovascre.... I love the title 💃🏻💃🏻
Decorin expression is increased by ageing and contributes to inflammation and leakage.

#KnowYourZDM: Humans and #zebrafish carrying mutations in VEGFC or its receptor (FLT4) have defects in the formation of their lymphatic systems, which are important for draining lymph back into the circulation system.  As a result, these individuals display severe #lymphedema. 🧪
Humans bearing mutations in vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) or its receptor tyrosine kinase (FLT4) have defects in the formation of their lymphatic system, which is important for draining interstitial fluid back into the circulatory system. As a consequence, these patients display severe lymphedema (bottom left). In zebrafish, we have generated mutations in vegfc and flt4, both of which are conserved between zebrafish and humans. Like humans, zebrafish larvae also display lymphedema due to a failure to form a complete lymphatic system (bottom right).

My friend Alon-Lee Green of the Palestinian-Jewish group @standing-together.bsky.social telling Israeli soldiers to refuse service in Gaza:
“Refuse to starve.
Refuse to kill.
Refuse occupation.
Refuse annihilation.”

Tonight the heroic @standing-together.bsky.social, a movement of Jewish and Palestinan Israeli citizens, disrupted a broadcast of Israeli Big Brother to demand an end to the war. The T-shirt of the activist pictured says “getting out of Gaza”

During a live broadcast of Big Brother in Israel, members of Standing Together rush the stage wearing “Leave Gaza” shirts and calling for an end to the genocide and against Netanyahu’s plan for permanent occupation.

This crazy world constantly forces us to adapt to surrounding changes, much like blood vessels do! Last week I shared sad news about @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social 😥. Today, with the ceasefire, I'm hopeful we'll all meet at the #GRC_Angiogenesis next month! Application deadline is June 29th! Link👇

Thanks to all our dear friends for the warm words and offers to help. Weizmann was hit by a missile last night- a devastating nightmare 😭. Thank God no one is hurt, but there’s significant damage to many labs. I’m stuck abroad, waiting desperately to be able to go home to my family and my lab 🙏
