Massive credit to co-first authors @DorotheeBornho1 and Newsha M. for insightful discussions and writing to shape the review!
Excited to share our latest review on biomechanical forces shape endothelial plasticity and morphogenesis! We delve into dynamic feedback between mechanical cues & molecular pathways that drive endothelial-to-hematopoietic & -mesenchymal transition.

6/6 If you are / know someone interested in graduate opportunities in an exciting department and a vibrant, multicultural city, and passionate about science, reach out! We will be recruiting for the 2026 grad student cycle at U of T!
5/6 None of this would have been possible without my incredible team whose talent, passion and dedication over the past 3 years have driven our discoveries forward! It’s been a privilege to turn our bold ideas into meaningful advances together @DorotheeBornho1 @Amulya_vh & Newsha
4/6 So many have contributed to this journey, and I want to especially thank the instrumental support from my mentors during my postdoc Didier @StainierLab and junior group leader phases Erez Raz.
3/6 Building on the momentum of our work in Münster, we aim to further uncover how the heart and the vasculature take shape—probing how dynamic forces from the extracellular matrix and blood flow influence cardiovascular cell fate and tissue morphogenesis.
2/6 With continued co-affiliation with @uni_muenster . Many thanks to the Faculty of Medicine and the Institute of Cell Biology for their support in the past 3 years of starting my lab! And the generous funding and support from DFG, @sfb1348 and SFB1450.
1/6 Thrilled to share that I’m joining the Department of Cell & Systems Biology at the University of Toronto as an Assistant Professor! Grateful for the journey so far and incredibly excited for what’s ahead at @UofTCellSysBiol @UofT.

Very happy and proud to be a part of this exciting work by @MargaAlbu in @StainierLab! This study sheds more light on how the heart is built, with surprising key distinctions between the atrium and the ventricle 🫀
Excited to share my PhD work published in @NatureComms!🥳 Special thanks to all co-authors' and lab members' support, especially to my supervisor Didier Stainier @StainierLab and mentor Felix Gunawan @GunawanLab for their constant guidance👩🎓

Get a systems view 🔭 of the vascular endothelium in health and disease!
Drs. Hellmut Augustin and Gou Young Koh share a holistic view of the field of vascular research and review the diverse functions of blood-vessel-lining #endothelial cells during the life cycle of the #vasculature.
