Vera Janssen, Ana Angulo-Urarte, Stephan Huveneers et al. show that nanoscale membrane curvatures at asymmetric endothelial cell–cell junctions serve as a scaffold to recruit BAR proteins, including BIN1 and SNX9, during collective migration. https://t.co/nqJcTzvrRF
3D super-res microscopy reveals ultrastructure of asymmetric adherens junctions between leader & follower cells in angiogenesis – BIN1 & SNX9 are regulators

Welcome to Day 1 of 'Building networks: engineering in vascular biology' taking place at EMBL Barcelona! ☀️🌴 #EMBOBuildNetworks
We're kicking off at 9:30, and we're excited for three inspiring days of cutting-edge science, insightful talks, lively discussions, and engaging poster sessions bringing together the vascular biology and engineering communities from around the world.🫀🔬
News from the lab! We identify the Calcineurin-NFAT-DSCR1.4 signaling pathway as a druggable driver of capillary malformations caused by the GNAQ p.R183Q mutation, which is associated with port-wine stains and Sturge-Weber syndrome.
🔗 Publication: https://t.co/HDDAyJc0j4
The article also includes a full phosphoproteomic dataset mapping downstream signaling of the GNAQ p.R183Q mutation in endothelial cells.

De Nederlandse universiteiten hebben een gezamenlijk manifest gepubliceerd waarin ze het kabinet oproepen de bezuiniginen op universiteiten en wetenschap te stoppen.
Interested in sonoporation as drug delivery approach in blood vessels? Mind the underlying endothelial cytoskeleton! Its organisation influences the endothelial response to ultrasound-activated microbubbles. New collaborative publication out led by Kooiman's lab from Erasmus MC
In their #OpenAccess Review, @vera_janssen1 and @Huveneers_lab@amsterdamumc explore how recent advances in fluorescence & electron microscopy along with biosensors & optogenetic tools have updated long-standing models of cell–cell adhesion.
