Ageing-associated endothelial decorin induction and the impact of non-glycanated decorin on cardiac inflammation AbstractAims. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the European Union and ageing is one of its major risk factors resulting in the progr

Look how cool, Felix Trogisch and Joerg Heineke highlight our decorin paper academic.oup.com/cardiovascre... in their last editorial in Cardiovascular Research academic.oup.com/cardiovascre.... I love the title 💃🏻💃🏻
Decorin expression is increased by ageing and contributes to inflammation and leakage.

Humans bearing mutations in vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) or its receptor tyrosine kinase (FLT4) have defects in the formation of their lymphatic system, which is important for draining interstitial fluid back into the circulatory system. As a consequence, these patients display severe lymphedema (bottom left). In zebrafish, we have generated mutations in vegfc and flt4, both of which are conserved between zebrafish and humans. Like humans, zebrafish larvae also display lymphedema due to a failure to form a complete lymphatic system (bottom right).

Grateful for being elected to be part of the wonderful @embo.org community! The recent members‘ meeting has been a clear example of how diversity increases scientific excellence! Thank you to my dear nominator @jvermot.bsky.social and to my amazing lab for making this possible!

Beautiful work as usual!! Congratulations Stefi and team!!! 👏👏

A high-throughput #zebrafish screen identifies novel candidate treatments for Kaposiform Lymphangiomatosis (KLA). New study from Ivan Bassi @ivanbassi.bsky.social, Karina Yaniv @karinayaniv.bsky.social and colleagues @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social: rupress.org/jem/article/...

Thank you Ruben!

Thank you!

Thanks Dan!

Happy to see our work, led by @ivanbassi.bsky.social, out today in @jem.org! #Zebrafish help us find new treatments for a #rare_disease affecting #lymphatic vessels! Congrats to all authors and thanks to #MDBRide4Rare, #ODC_UPenn, @erc.europa.eu for support @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social

Thanks Macarena! It is always a pleasure to have you around! You bring lots of energy to our community!

Bearded young man with a sack of flour over his shoulder speaking into a megaphone. His purple T says Standing Together in Arabic and Hebrew.

My friend Alon-Lee Green of the Palestinian-Jewish group @standing-together.bsky.social telling Israeli soldiers to refuse service in Gaza:
“Refuse to starve.
Refuse to kill.
Refuse occupation.
Refuse annihilation.”

Tonight the heroic @standing-together.bsky.social, a movement of Jewish and Palestinan Israeli citizens, disrupted a broadcast of Israeli Big Brother to demand an end to the war. The T-shirt of the activist pictured says “getting out of Gaza”

During a live broadcast of Big Brother in Israel, members of Standing Together rush the stage wearing “Leave Gaza” shirts and calling for an end to the genocide and against Netanyahu’s plan for permanent occupation.

#GRC_Angiogenesis2025 is about to begin and we want to thank our amazing sponsors for helping us support the young generation of vascular biologists!! See you all soon in Newport!!! @evborg.bsky.social @navbo.bsky.social @biologists.bsky.social @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social @yalecvrc.bsky.social

Super proud of Daria Kostina presenting beautiful @zebrafishrock.bsky.social data at the #GRS_angiogenesis!

📣Join us for the DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY COURSE @institutcurie.bsky.social @sorbonne-universite.fr

#GRS_Angiogenesis is off to a great start with a fantastic talk by @amandalundquist.bsky.social! @brisapalikuqilab.bsky.social and @bikohcello.bsky.social have put together an amazing program! 👏👏

Looking forward to joining this #Gordon in #Newport and dive back into this exciting #Vascular #Biology field (and see many friendly faces)

Thanks @karinayaniv.bsky.social & A.Eichmann for the invitation

😱 When you realize that your #ESTA isn't valid anymore...the night before flying out... 🤞

Less than a week away! The amazing 2025 #GRSAngiogenesis and #GRCAngiogenesis with a fantastic lineup of awesome speakers and phenomenal attendees!! And let's not forget the heavenly venue in Newport! See you soon!! @karinayaniv.bsky.social @AnneEichmann @brisapalikuqilab.bsky.social

How we’re rebuilding the Weizmann Institute — and our hopes for a better future Scientific research is at the heart of Israel’s success and has worldwide benefits. Our work will continue despite adversity.

"I look forward to the day when Israeli scientists can freely collaborate with scientists in Iran and do good for the region and for humanity. I wish the same for scientists in Gaza and throughout the Middle East". Proud to be part of

Congratulations Bong-Ihn!! Fantastic news!!!

🥳🥳 We have more than 100 abstracts submitted for #GRC_Angiogenesis!!! Application deadline is TOMORROW!! don't miss it!

Only 29 days left until one of the best vascular biology conferences out there! @karinayaniv.bsky.social, Anne Eichmann, @brisapalikuqilab.bsky.social and I can't wait to see all of you in Newport!!

This crazy world constantly forces us to adapt to surrounding changes, much like blood vessels do! Last week I shared sad news about @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social 😥. Today, with the ceasefire, I'm hopeful we'll all meet at the #GRC_Angiogenesis next month! Application deadline is June 29th! Link👇

Thank you so much dear Marina!

Definitely something to look forward to!!

Thank you so much! It is heartwarming to receive all this love and support from our friends and colleagues!

Thank you Sandro!
