Today April 12th is #GouldSyndromeAwareness Day because this disease is caused by mutations in the Col4⃣ a1⃣ and a2⃣ genes. Please find your time to watch this 4 min video

Thank you for advertising our new preprint, Yutaka! 📢
If you are interested in prolyl 4-hydroxylation and collagen biosynthesis, you can learn how these go in Drosoplia ‼️🪰🪰🪰
Happy Friday 😎
Our preprint is out!
Great collaboration with @yoshihiro0604, @mel_toups, Marwan Elkrewi, Allison Zajac, and @SHBLab
Evidence for the major role of PH4⍺EFB in the prolyl 4-hydroxylation of Drosophila collagen IV

Please add your reading list! Our shiny collagen IV paper is out now😎 Enjoy beautiful red and green images! Yes, I MUST do molecular characterization of this "beauty" collagen IV... My TO-DO list is too much😅

Mao et al introduce a novel tagged Col4a1 mouse model for studying basement membrane dynamics, which provides important details of COL4A1 turnover in cerebral vasculature & shows that Col4a1 heterozygous deletion is better tolerated than missense mutations hubs.la/Q03jWjdz0
My first post of 2025 is here! 😎 Excited to share my new paper on horse collagen I 🐎. We explored COL1 structure and modifications in horses with LH1 mutations. Don’t miss the unique images of twisted collagen fibrils—check it out below!👇👇👇
Douglas Gould @UCSFGouldLab et al. investigate whether TGFβ Signaling Dysregulation May Contribute to COL4A1-Related Glaucomatous Optic Nerve Damage, iovs.arvojournals.org/articl….
We are please to announce Drs. Yoshi Ishikawa @yoshihiro0604 and Masashi Yanagisawa as the Luncheon Seminar speakers at #JSMBM24. 日本結合組織学会大会のランチョンセミナーはUCSF のYoshi Ishikawa 先生によるコラーゲンのフォールディング、Masashi Yanagisawa 先生による睡眠の講演です!
Exciting news! Our new research paper is published! This exciting study was done with a amazing collaborator Scott Early (@vesselman) lab. Congratulations🎉🍻🥳
In a model of #GouldSyndrome, researchers connect brain lesions and hemorrhages to disruptions in #CalciumSignaling in smooth muscle cells from misfolded collagen, impairing vessel’s ability to regulate cerebral blood flow. @UCSFGouldLab@CobreUnrscim.ag/4Qh
#GouldSyndrome had great chemistry with #AlportSyndrome and basement membrane researchers at #ASMB2023! It is important to know each other, exchange ideas, and discuss future collaborations in person. I and @yoshihiro0604 are happy to be in this picture! Join Collagen IV biology!
Our latest preprint provides proof of concept for the use of PI3K inhibitors to treat vascular dementia. @UCSFGouldLab@unrmed@DoctorMC_

We are hiring two new postdocs! Come to Reno and help us develop new animal models of cerebral small vessel diseases (cSVDs) and vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). This is part of a great collaboration with @UCSFGouldLab and @DoctorMC_. jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/…
Happy National Postdoc Appreciation week to from the Gould lab to Kayla, Andrea, Xiaowei(@Xiaowei71), all former Gould lab postdocs and the rest of you hard working postdocs out there! 🔬🧪✍️💪🦾🙌
