Bone remodeling is traditionally driven by osteoblasts and osteoclasts, but our study reveals a third essential player: "Type R capillaries". Excited to share my PhD work from @ralfhadams lab, now published in @NatureCellBio. nature.com/articles/s4155… 🧵1/8👇 🐭🔬🦴

I am so excited to share this month’s @NatureCVR cover story and image pick. 😍
❤️Our July issue is out❤️Discover an Angiopoietin-TIE2-dependent circuit promoting venous malformations, complex disease modelling in cardiac organoids, regulation of cardiac homeostasis by methyonil tRNA synthetase, and more! nature.com/natcardiovascr…
Rui Benedito has joined our @MPI_Muenster as a director. He develops innovative genetic tools to study how mutations alter single-cell behavior — pushing the frontiers of biomedical research. Welcome to Münster, Rui! 🎉 #Genetics #Biomedicine #SingleCell mpi-muenster.mpg.de/pressrelease/r…
The new Department of Functional Genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine is looking for scientists at any level. 👇 mpi-muenster.mpg.de/780013/profil
First publication from my PhD. Incredibly grateful to Rodrigo and Ralf for the mentorship, guidance and support, great thanks to Kai and Hendrik for their contribution. "ELMO2 is an essential regulator of carotid artery development". doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
Research | Kraft et al. identify TIE2 activation as a key driver of PI3KCA-related venous malformations and demonstrate that inhibiting TIE2 signalling can suppress the growth of advanced lesions. doi.org/10.1038/s44161… rdcu.be/en0hU
🚀 Exciting news for early-career researchers! The new Max Planck #Postdoc Program offers a guaranteed contract of at least 3 years, targeted mentoring, and career workshops. Applications are open now! postdocprogram.mpg.de #ScienceCareer #PostdocProgram

EVBO is offering personalised #training for #EVBOmembers for ERC Starting Grant interview. We want EVBO research to be funded by the ERC! If interested, contact Prof. Taija Makinen @ [email protected] by the 25th April. More info: buff.ly/dexAhf7
Today in @Nature, we share our latest paper. We developed an algorithm to predict novel peptides cleaved by proconvertases across all human tissues. Using this method, we identified BRP, a brain-derived anti-obesity peptide. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Although it's only January, slots are filling up quickly for #GRC_Angiogenesis! If you love vessels and wanna dig into their interactions with their neighbors, this is the place to be this summer! We will soon start selecting abstracts for short talks! Don't wait, apply today👇!
More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn……
