We also used the zebrafish to model anomalies in the paper! https://t.co/7U9pi5mYAq @NICHD_NIH @NICHDPress @chop_pubs @endothelialnews @ZebrafishRock @LGDAlliance @LymphaticNet @CMTCOVM

Think vascular anomalies are important? Consider voting for paper on liquid biopsy for vascular anomalies in the stat madness competition! It’s a popular vote! This round is open for 2 more days. https://t.co/4vsDlg1S3S

Because I'll be indisposed for most of tomorrow, happy early #FluorescenceFriday all, from the Sheppard Lab! Here's another zebrafish larva with assorted Red/Green/Blue endothelial markers.

Congrats to @BNriagu for his article demonstrating that microcystic lymphatic malformations in Turner syndrome are due to somatic mosaicism https://t.co/3dfuR2LGJd

[Guillaume Canaud (MD, PhD) @CanaudLab]

Happy to share the results of the international EPIK P1 clinical trial based on real word data evidence for patients with PIK3CA-related disorders. These data led to the recent @US_FDA approval. Thanks to all coauthors @irvinederm and others not on X. This was an amazing journey

[Leah Greenspan @LJGreenspan]

So excited to be part of Development’s Pathway to Independence Programme. Check out my interview👇

Happy #FluorescenceFriday everyone, from the Sheppard Lab.

Happy #fluorescence_friday from the Sheppard Lab!

While I have your attention, are you interested in translational research on vascular anomalies? If so, we're looking for postdocs!

Really interesting work!

A #machinelearning classifier predicts origin of cancer of unknown primary based on #electronicrecords and #NGS data, showing that patients treated accordingly to model predictions had significantly better outcomes. @DanaFarber @broadinstitute

@NICHD_NIH is a great place to work and is currently recruiting a new clinical tenure-track investigator!

Thanks for highlighting our work!

Excited about what this means for the future of precision medicine in vascular anomalies.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Liquid biopsy (aka blood sample) DNA sequencing is used increasingly for patients with cancer. Here it was found useful for diagnosing vascular anomalies in 63% of participants which led to improved therapy in most

Thank you for the great collaboration Aleksa, Iris and the whole Bern group! Epidemiology is an important step for advancing also clinical diagnostics.

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. #KnowYourZDM

[Elisa Boscolo @BoscoloLab]

Happy to share our latest publication in @NatureComms We developed a murine model for GNAQ mutated vascular tumors and coagulopathy and showed that MEK inhibition prevents tumor formation improving survival. great work by @SchrenkSandra and Collaborators

[Sarah Sheppard @DrSarahSheppard]

@nbgmd Dr. Campbell made an awesome tracking system within Epic!
