Agree with @MireilleOuimet. Really enjoyed CLVS2024! Great science and camaraderie.
I had an incredible time at #CLVS 2024 in Blue Mountain! Outstanding scientific presentations, and it was so rewarding to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new friends. Already excited for the 2025 meeting in Saskatoon, the "Paris of the Prairies"😉! 📷Credit: @PatriciaLiaw

Delighted that Erika Jang and Winnie Ho's latest work is out. LDL transcytosis across the endothelium is the first step in atherogenesis, typically involving caveolin-1 and SR-BI or ALK1. We describe a distinct route that uses LDLR and Rab27a in response to pM levels of IL-1b.
IL-1B accelerates atherosclerosis by inducing LDL transcytosis independently of caveolin-1. The pathway requires LDLR and Rab27a @WarrenLeeLab @TseWingWinnieHo ahajrnls.org/3Aefewc

ApoAI/HDL binds and competes with LDL for SR-BI on endothelial cells, thereby partly reducing LDL transcytosis. Yet another way “good” cholesterol is beneficial. The last work from Karen Fung’s thesis and collaboration with my former neighbor @WarrenLeeLab

Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC) or ACKR1 is expressed on endothelial cells in tissue but the protein is lost when cells are cultured. Here we report how to induce endothelial ACKR1 and how it is regulated. Congrats to Xinying Guo and @KhNegar for figuring this out!

Lab picnic on the island. Fun but a bit chilly; maybe should have done it before the CIHR deadline...

First in-person conference in over two years. The students did a great job representing the lab! @GordonConf

Of all the meeting platforms we've used over the last 2 years, Zoom is the one I love most. Most of us think we know Zoom inside out. But we don't. Here are 7 Zoom hacks you probably haven't heard of, but you'll be glad you now know. 🧵👇

Grateful for the renewal of my Canada Research Chair. And especially thankful to my terrific students and techs who make research so much fun!
Three scientists at St. Michael’s Hospital have received prestigious research chair awards from @CIHR_IRSC and @CRC_CRC. Congratulations to Dr. @AndrewDPinto, Dr. @ATricco and Dr. @WarrenLeeLab! Read more: bit.ly/3AheDWl
