Getting a cholesterol screening is a lot less complicated than memorizing all of Scorpion’s finishers. Just call your doctor and ask for a simple blood test. #MortalKombatMovie #MortalKombat

Very excited to share chapter 1 of our endothelial identity story out now in @GenomeMedicine !! Here we show that ERG governs dynamic and reversible EndMT in arterial ECs to limit endothelial dysfunction: link.springer.com/article/10… @FishLab_UHN @kat_howe @Kristen_ESchulz

Collectively, we highlight ERG as an essential safeguard of EC identity and a therapeutic target for promoting EC resilience in diseases that perturb the arterial endothelium.

Very excited about this study in @EmboMolMed, where we show that KRAS mutations drive glycolytic reprogramming of the endothelium in sporadic brain arteriovenous malformations. We show a synergistic impact of targeting glycolysis and MEK. link.springer.com/article/10…
