Why do guinea pigs have so many natural bypass arteries? In our preprint, we use this ischemia-resistant mammal in vivo Perturb-seq to ask how protective collateral arteries are built. The surprise: more collaterals may come from turning down “artery repressor” pathways, including WNT, hypoxia-response, and TCA cycle. Knocking down selected repressors increased pial collaterals in mouse brain. @RonghaoZhou @kristyredhorse @jengreitz @BRaftrey @PamR33 @ChenMaggieSY biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Excited to share our preprint, reviving @kristyredhorse's interest in the placenta from her PhD ~20 years ago! We find using 3D imaging that the mouse placenta is far more invasive than previously thought. Furthermore, we find a surprise from our favorite chemokine CXCL12...🧵:

We were surprised by CXCR4-activated decidual cells in these mice, given the paucity of analysis of this receptor in these cells. However, beautiful work out this week in Nature shows a population of CXCR4 decidual cells associated with blood vessels and pregnancy complications.

This work was a product of intense work by the three of us, and we are very excited to share it with everyone! Of course, a huge thank you goes out to our funding sources, and especially everyone who has given us feedback, advice, and comments along the way.
