The paper maps gene regulators of endothelial cell differentiation using CRISPR and single-cell RNA-seq, identifying Hippo mechanosignaling as critical for endothelial identity.

This study identifies NET1/ARHGEF8 as a mechanosensitive RhoGEF that regulates vascular smooth muscle cell contractility and adhesion in response to cyclic stretch.

This study identifies Jam2 signaling and Hand2 function as essential for forming organ-specific vascular progenitors in zebrafish embryos, with implications for evolutionary conservation.

The paper generates transgenic mice expressing mitochondrial-targeted GFP to study sperm mitochondria function.

This study shows that SHE and ABL signaling regulate vascular lumen size in zebrafish and human endothelial cells by modulating claudin expression and cell proliferation.
