Focused on neuro-vascular interactions 🧠
We’re excited to share our recent study published in @cellpress.bsky.social! In this work, we show that brain endothelial cells, connected by gap junctions, form a signaling highway to enable fast, long-range arterial vasodilation in neurovascular coupling.

You can find it below:
Brain endothelial gap junction coupling enables rapid vasodilation propagation during neurovascular coupling
Vasodilatory signals are rapidly communicated across long distances by endothelial-endothelial gap junctions, enabling coordinated dilation of the arterial network during neurovascular coupling.
