Congratulations Elizabeth and Nancy! Beautiful work!! @CAMBUpenn @pennbgs @Howell_ED2 @LabSpeck
Have you ever wondered what makes an endothelial cell permissive to be reprogrammed by RUNX1 to a blood cell? Well I have the answer for you - see article and 🧵genesdev.cshlp.org/content/e…

This work highlights the importance of TGFb target genes in EHT as well as the cooperativity of RUNX1, AP-1, and SMAD factors in activating these TGFb target genes that are involved in the morphological component of EHT
