We are so excited to finally share our first paper out of the lab, a review on Cx37’s role as a cell cycle regulator in the vasculature, published today in JVR. This paper was truly a labor of love!

When we started in this #menopause #sexdifferences space ~20 yrs ago reviewers comments included “as nephrologists, whether patient is male or female not important or relevant”, so you can imagine our grant significance scores 😱
We have come a long way! ❤️ @NIDDKgov @ASNKidney

This review paper was written in collaboration with Dr. Mark Mondrinos, our collaborator in the @Tulane Dept. of Biomedical Engineering.
In this paper, we discuss importance, strategies, and challenges for incorporating physiological hemodynamic flow in vessel-on-a-chip systems

Happy to see this one out in the world after a mammoth effort. If you like c-Src (who doesn’t?!) and watching vessels blow up like a balloon, this one is for you!
Thanks to @J_Cell_Sci, who made this a delightful process. journals.biologists.com/jcs/…

Eagle-eyed readers will see graduate student Edward working at the dissection scope, and lab manager Hannah and undergraduate student Brandon having a meeting in the open desk space adjacent to the lab.
Bonus points for spotting Dr. Fang’s lab coat!
