👩‍🔬The BDR Diversity Working Group organized an event in April titled, "Inspiring Women in Science," featuring talks by three leading international women scientists on their career paths followed by a panel discussion. Read more about the event👇 https://t.co/U3FdqOsvoz

Meet the lab of @LabPhng, based @BDR_RIKEN, Kobe, Japan. The lab is interested in vascular #morphogenesis, in particular, endothelial cell mechanobiology in #zebrafish🐟

Find out more about the lab and what it's like working at RIKEN BDR:

Exploring the Uncharted Waters of Endothelial Tip Cell Migration: A Story of Aquaporins, Hydrostatic Pressure, and Angiogenesis💧

@LabPhng tells the behind the paper story that includes a revisit of an observation made more than 10 years ago:

[Biomedical Picture of the Day BPoD @BPoD_s]

Zebrafish study reveals that, along with actin polymerisation, hydrostatic pressure underlies the push of endothelial tip cells into new territory

Kudos to @yamacy23 for her immense effort in putting the whole story together. Check out this laser ablation experiment that she did! And thank you to all coauthors for their input @MechgenLab @Lagendijk_lab @vizcie

[Li-Kun Phng @LabPhng]

Delighted to share latest preprint from @LabPhng @BDR_RIKEN where we investigated how #endothelial cell behaviours and #mechanobiology control blood vessel size in #zebrafish. https://t.co/byRAq432MG

[Li-Kun Phng @LabPhng]

In the absence of krit1/ccm1, ECs lack circumferential actin, undergo reduced cell deformation and exhibit enlarged vessels, thus providing a mechanistic understanding of how cerebral cavernous malformation arises

@HiroFujiwara Congratulations to you and Gaowa!

[Li-Kun Phng @LabPhng]

Perfect weather to celebrate 8th year anniversary of @LabPhng @BDR_RIKEN at Suma Beach! Thank you to all past and present lab members for their hard work! @yamacy23 @swesoe2

[Sameer Thukral @SameerThukral6]

Prof Fumio Motegi gave a career talk about learnings from failure at the recent BDR-Launchpad event for ECRs. Learning that seasoned researchers cherish both success AND failure was enlightening! Thank you for your time! @RIKEN_BDR @BDR_RIKEN #ECRs #BDRLaunchpad @dev_mechanics

[Endothelial Cell News @endothelialnews]

Drs. Stephan Huveneers (@Huveneers_Lab) and Li-Kun Phng (@LabPhng) discuss new conceptual advances gained from in vitro and in vivo models of #angiogenesis on the control of #endothelial cell dynamics.

@_Priya_R @wellcometrust @TheCrick Congratulations! Looking forward to hearing your amazing work in Japan next year!

[Li-Kun Phng @LabPhng]

Had the pleasure of hosting @SiekmannLab who visited @LabPhng @BDR_RIKEN en route to #IZFC2024 in Kyoto recently. Take home message from his talk - the importance of veins in making blood vessels! #zebrafish

[EZS Young Researcher Committee @EZS_YoRC]

The #YoRC Workshop at #IZFC2024 is in the books! Thank you to our amazing panel and fantastic speakers!
And of course congratulations to our THREE prize winners sponsored by @Aquaneering .
