Passionate scientist and runner. Opinions are my own.
A recent preprint (Yang et al., doi.org/10.1101/2025...) challenges an article from my lab published in 2024 (Koh et al. 2024, PMID: 39537918). We strongly dispute their claims (please see our comment on bioRXiv). 1/4
Degeneration and Impaired Resilience of Skull Bone and Hematopoietic Bone Marrow
Bone marrow health is central to transplantations, blood formation, and cancer progression. However, the bone marrow niche deteriorates with age, impairing haematopoietic stem cell function. Contrary ...

Fantastic news and most deserved recognition for Brant, one of the pioneers in our research field.
So well deserved!!! Such an honor to have trained in this lab! Brant is an amazing scientist and a wonderful human being! Many congratulations!
📢 #GRC_Angiogenesis program is up! We have an amazing lineup of speakers ready to dive into the "social life" of vessels! How they engage with their neighbors, how they connect, and why they break up! Plus we have ~15 slots available for short talks! Apply (link 👇) and see you in Newport in July!
The 2025 Mini Symposium is only TWO weeks away. To hear talks from @ralfhadams.bsky.social , A/Prof Sanjay Patel, @ianparish.bsky.social and @cgerlachlab.bsky.social - you can register here 👉 www.iseh.org/2025MiniSymposium
What determines whether an endothelial cell becomes arterial? @saradv.bsky.social and her team had a crack at it in @elife.bsky.social and have identified a list of genetic enhancers crucial for this -> elifesciences.org/articles/102... Congratulations on this very cool study 💃🏻💃🏻 I really liked it!
Evaluating the transcriptional regulators of arterial gene expression via a catalogue of characterized arterial enhancers
Identification and characterization of enhancers for eight key arterial genes reveal transcription factors associated with different aspects of endothelial gene expression specificity and provide a to...

Adult skull bone marrow is an expanding and resilient haematopoietic reservoir "We propose that skull harbours a protected and dynamically expanding bone marrow microenvironment, which [potentially relevant] for clinical treatments in humans" @ralfhadams.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Adult skull bone marrow is an expanding and resilient haematopoietic reservoir - Nature
Skull bone marrow expands during adult life, exhibits lifelong vascular growth and increases its haematopoietic potential during ageing.

Enjoying my first days here at Bluesky. It is pretty much as peaceful and enjoyable as Twitter in its early days.
