Proud to share our new paper in EMBO Reports! 🧬 How does a cell "decide" to become lymphatic vs blood endothelium? Turns out it's not just which genes switch on — it's how the genome folds around them. 💥 link.springer.com/content/pdf/... #Lymphatics #Zebrafish #DevBio #VascularBiology #Genomics

We are looking for an enthusiastic and talented postdoc to join our team and advance 3D imaging and organ-on-chip models, by studying leukocyte migration in human lung lymphatics in an interdisciplinary @snsf.ch -funded project at @ethz.ch If you are interested, check here: lnkd.in/dw9gzFjW

Collado-Diaz, Christakopoulou, Schineis et al. @halinlab.bsky.social @ethz.ch show that lymphatic endothelial cells generate a soluble chemokine variant, CCL21-ΔC, through uPA/plasmin-dependent cleavage. rupress.org/jcb/article/...
JEM’s January issue is here! rupress.org/jem/issue/22... The cover is a light-sheet #microscopy image of a cleared, immunostained human skin biopsy depicting podoplanin-positive, αSMA-negative lymphatic vessels (yellow-red) & αSMA-positive blood vessels (blue). (Bauer et al. doi.org/10.1084/jem....)
Feeling incredibly grateful to have been awarded a two‑year @ethz.ch postdoctoral fellowship to investigate lymphatic–immune interactions and immune trafficking in solid tumours. Excited for this opportunity to pursue this work and deeply thankful to @halinlab.bsky.social for the tremendous support!
Thanks for choosing my picture from our @jem.org paper for a biomedical picture of the day @bpodaily.bsky.social! It's always great to show the importance of the "other vessels"- the beautiful lymphatic system!

Angiopoietin–TIE2 feedforward circuit promotes PIK3CA-driven venous malformations
Nature Cardiovascular Research - Kraft et al. identify TIE2 activation as a key driver of PIK3CA-related venous malformations and demonstrate that inhibiting TIE2 signaling can suppress the growth...
