Functional divergence of WWC family proteins in human endothelial cells

Tuli Pramanik, Austin Mills, Ondine B. Cleaver

This study identifies distinct roles for WWC2 and WWC3 in human endothelial cells, showing WWC3's dominance in Hippo signaling and WWC2's role in VEGF signaling, with both affecting EC proliferation and migration.

Transient architecture of the embryonic pancreas determines endocrine mass

Ondine B. Cleaver, Neha Ahuja, Christopher P. Chaney, Tyler Bierschenk, Tuli Pramanik, Austin Mills, Peter Luo, Mitzy Cowdin, Jinlong Lin, Jun Tsunezumi, Kevin M. Dean, Denise Marciano, Thomas J. Carroll

This study shows that transient 3D epithelial architecture in the embryonic pancreas instructs lineage allocation and endocrine cell mass formation through Merlin-dependent membrane trafficking.

Lats1/2 are essential for developmental vascular remodeling and biomechanical adaptation to shear stress

Mitzy A. Cowdin, Tuli Pramanik, Shelby R. Mohr-Allen, Yuting Fu, Austin Mills, Stephen B. Spurgin, Victor D. Varner, George E. Davis, Ondine B. Cleaver

This paper shows that Lats1/2 are essential for vascular remodeling and response to shear stress in embryonic endothelial cells, leading to vascular defects and embryonic lethality.
