Endocrine modulation of cortical and retinal blood flow across the menstrual cycle

This study examines how ovarian hormones affect cerebral and retinal blood flow across the menstrual cycle, finding that estrogen increases blood flow in both the brain and eye, while progesterone affects the brain alone.

An intrinsic endothelial dysfunction causes cerebral small vessel disease

This study identifies intrinsic endothelial dysfunction as a cause of cerebral small vessel disease in a normotensive rat model, independent of hypertension.

Competition for endothelial cell polarity drives vascular morphogenesis

The paper shows that competition between biochemical and mechanical cues regulates endothelial cell polarity, driving vascular morphogenesis through tension shifts.

Detecting repeated cancer evolution in human tumours from multi-region sequencing data

This paper introduces a machine learning method to detect repeated cancer evolution patterns across patients using multi-region sequencing data, identifying prognostic patient subgroups.
