Congratulations and best of luck @nickchavkin! We're excited to see what you find. We'll miss you at UVA!
Exciting news to share - I accepted an Assistant Professor position to start my lab at Seattle Children's Research Institute and @uwpediatrics! I start on July 1st in the Center for Developmental Biology and Regenerative Medicine. chavkinlab.com

I can’t wait to see @MTorrescnic, @makinenlab, @MarionaGraupera and @HirschiLab at this year’s Seeon meeting, where they will discuss concepts of cellular fitness, competition, and clonality in the cardiovascular system. For applications, visit: vwfb.de.

Excited to share our now-published work showing that obesity accelerates EndoMT in adipose tissue! @FrontCVMedicine. Using lineage-tracing mouse models, human cell culture assays, and human scRNAseq datasets, we show that obesogenic diet promote EndoMT. tinyurl.com/3bkffkdj

Really amazing study here - outstanding work from @WesleyAbplanalp @StefanieDimmel1. I was able to help write a News & Views on this article as well: nature.com/articles/s44161-0… New technique that helped identify how small clone sizes in CHIP have large effects.

Clonal hematopoiesis affects only a small number of cells in the blood. @WesleyAbplanalp now developed a method that demonstrates the specific effect in the mutated cells. Not only monocytes but also T-cells are affected! Learn more here: nature.com/articles/s44161-0… @NatureCVR

Cool comparisons between different vascular beds and the endothelium within them. Thanks to @Luke_Dunaway and @melissa_luse for co-leading the way on this.
Our latest preprint is up! Check out mine and @melissa_luse work investigating endothelial heterogeneity in obesity using bulk seq, scRNA seq, and some beautiful en face imaging of arterial endothelial mitochondria! @conn_pann_fun biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

In our latest episode, we discuss a study from the lab of Dr. Karen Hirschi (@HirschiLab) at @Yale. Her lab identified miR-223 as a negative regulator of murine hemogenic endothelial cell specification and #myelopoiesis. 📒: bit.ly/3Jb450Q 🎧: bit.ly/3J6pckY
