This study shows junctophilin-2 protects cardiomyocytes from stress by preventing junctin ubiquitination and degradation, maintaining Ca2+ homeostasis and reducing apoptosis.

This study shows that urgent brain vascular regeneration after ischemic stroke occurs through lymphatic transdifferentiation, mediated by EphrinB2a/EphB4a/Notch signaling in zebrafish.

This study shows that cerebrovascular injuries in zebrafish trigger lymphatic invasion into brain parenchyma, which helps resolve edema and guides vascular regeneration.
