The paper shows mitochondrial state in zebrafish tip cells encodes brain collateral network topology, with microRNA-125a regulating mitochondrial function to influence vascular resilience.

This study shows that epidermal stem cells regulate periderm injury repair by forming specialized intercellular junctions through interactions with the extracellular matrix.

This study identifies latrophilin-2 as an upstream mechanosensor for fluid shear stress in endothelial cells, linking it to vascular development and disease.

This study shows that blood flow activates endothelial klf2a, which regulates VSMC differentiation on zebrafish brain arteries in a spatiotemporal manner.

The paper identifies genetic variants in RASA1 and EPHB4 associated with vein of Galen malformations through exome analysis and single-cell transcriptomics.

This study shows that miR-128 regulates HSPC heterogeneity by modulating Wnt and Notch signaling in hemogenic endothelium, leading to lineage-specific biases in zebrafish and human systems.

The paper shows that N-glycan modifications regulate endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition by affecting glycosylation enzymes and HSPC production.

This study identifies Akt's role in dorsal aorta formation by showing it sustains arterial progenitor specification and segregation in zebrafish.

This study identifies latrophilins as essential for endothelial cell mechanotransduction of fluid shear stress through both G protein-dependent and -independent pathways.
