Oscillatory and elevated flow distinctly regulate gene expression in human coronary artery endothelial cells

Giulio Vidotto, Sara Luzzi, Jonathan D. Humphries, Robert Beal, David G. McVey, Christopher P. Nelson, Tom R. Webb, Martin James Humphries, Graham R. Smith, Stephen J. White

This study identifies distinct gene expression changes in human coronary artery endothelial cells under elevated flow compared to oscillatory and normal flow, highlighting unique regulatory effects on CAD-related pathways and alternative splicing.

ARHGEF18/p114RhoGEF coordinates PKA/CREB signaling and actomyosin remodeling to drive trophoblast cell-cell fusion during placenta morphogenesis

Robert Beal, Ana Alonso-Carriazo Fernandez, Dimitris K Grammatopoulos, Karl Matter, Maria Balda

This study shows p114RhoGEF links actomyosin dynamics to PKA/CREB signaling and gene expression, driving trophoblast cell-cell fusion during placenta development.
