Very excited to share chapter 1 of our endothelial identity story out now in @GenomeMedicine !!

Here we show that ERG governs dynamic and reversible EndMT in arterial ECs to limit endothelial dysfunction: https://t.co/mAoj0nuaXV

Getting a cholesterol screening is a lot less complicated than memorizing all of Scorpion’s finishers. Just call your doctor and ask for a simple blood test.

Collectively, we highlight ERG as an essential safeguard of EC identity and a therapeutic target for promoting EC resilience in diseases that perturb the arterial endothelium.

Very excited about this study in @EmboMolMed, where we show that KRAS mutations drive glycolytic reprogramming of the endothelium in sporadic brain arteriovenous malformations. We show a synergistic impact of targeting glycolysis and MEK. https://t.co/ZlI2HmTUKn
