Hear Lena Claesson-Welsh at #Angioscience26! Lena fundamentally advanced vascular biology by uncovering how VEGFR signaling, junctional dynamics & proteins like CD93 regulate endothelial permeability & vessel leakage in tumor metastasis & inflammatory diseases. See our program: www.vwfb.de
Come hear Anne Eichmann at #Angioscience26! Anne not only helped elucidate neuronal cue guidance of angiogenesis, but also how sensing of hemodynamic flow via Piezo1 can go awry leading to vascular malformations & how ROCK is critical to vessel stability. Find the Seeon program here: www.vwfb.de/
Hear Pipsa Sararinen at #Angioscience26! Pipsa studies endothelial junctions & vascular stability. She showed how Ang-2 drives endothelial destabilization via beta1-integrin & how targeting b1-integrin can inhibit pathological capillary leakage in diseases like sepsis. More info here: www.vwfb.de
Hear Tatiana Petrova at #Angiogenesis26! Tatiana studies lymphatic vascular development & tissue-specific remodeling, showing how Prox1, organ-specific mechanical forces, & metabolic pathways govern lymphatic endothelial identity & functional maturation. Register today! www.vwfb.de/start/regist...
