🔬 New preprint !!! 👇 📃 shorturl.at/uTj8m 🧫 We identified NET1/ARHGEF8 as a stretch-sensitive RhoGEF in smooth muscle cells Thanks to Mary-Adel Mrad and the team for their hard work 💪 #vascularbiology #smoothmusclecell #cyclicstretch↔️ @inserm.fr @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social

NET1/ARHGEF8 is a mechanosensitive Guanine Exchange Factor controlling vascular smooth muscle cells' contractility

Cyclic stretch, generated by pulsatile blood pressure, has been identified as a pivotal regulator of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) behavior and arterial wall homeostasis. Research has demonstrate...

It’s out ! My first last author paper 🥰… We identified ARHGEF18 as a flow responsive protein participating in vascular barrier maintenance 🔬🧫 Congratulations to the whole team, especially Surya Batta, PhD at that time in the lab ! www.cell.com/cell-reports... @inserm.fr @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social

ARHGEF18 is a flow-responsive exchange factor controlling endothelial tight junctions and vascular leakage

Batta et al. identified ARHGEF18 as a flow-responsive RhoGEF with high phosphorylation-dependent activity under physiological shear stress and as necessary to maintain tight junctions by recruiting ZO...

Happy to share our new preprint ! We studied how a genetic variant favors intracranial aneurysms in mice. #vascularbiology #aneurysms @chunantes.bsky.social @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social @insermgrandouest.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

ANGPTL6 variant induces cerebral vascular dysfunction and predisposes to intracranial aneurysm in mice

Background: Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a common cerebrovascular abnormality characterized by localized dilation and wall thinning in intracranial arteries, that frequently leads to fatal sub-arachn...

Great PhD defense by Tom Lecorvec, vascular surgeon who did his scientific thesis in our lab ! Smooth muscle cells rock 💪 @chunantes.bsky.social, Nantes university, L’institut du thorax

Brain vascular imaging in live animal… 3D-ULM rocks ! Great talk by Olivier Couture at the « folle journée de l’anévrisme »

Giving a open conference for the general public tonight on Intracranial Aneurysm 🧠 Together with Romain Bourcier, neuroradiologist @chunantes.bsky.social @inserm.bsky.social @cnrs.bsky.social

As usual in December, our institut is doing the “advent offices” which consiste in one office each day is providing treats and food for the rest of the institute. Today is our day 😋 🥰

Amazing defense and stimulating discussion! Well done Clémence and thank you @team6lvts.bsky.social for making me part of this jury
