Vera Janssen, Ana Angulo-Urarte, Stephan Huveneers et al. show that nanoscale membrane curvatures at asymmetric endothelial cell–cell junctions serve as a scaffold to recruit BAR proteins, including BIN1 and SNX9, during collective migration. hubs.la/Q04qSY_v0

A big thank you to everyone who joined us at the EMBO Workshop 'Building networks: engineering in vascular biology' at EMBL Barcelona last week. It was a fantastic few days of inspiring science, lively discussions, new collaborations, and a great reminder of how rapidly the vascular biology and bioengineering communities are evolving together. 🧬🫀
Special thanks to all organisers and speakers for making the meeting such a success 👏🏼

News from the lab! We identify the Calcineurin-NFAT-DSCR1.4 signaling pathway as a druggable driver of capillary malformations caused by the GNAQ p.R183Q mutation, which is associated with port-wine stains and Sturge-Weber syndrome.
🔗 Publication: rdcu.be/e2gRC
The article also includes a full phosphoproteomic dataset mapping downstream signaling of the GNAQ p.R183Q mutation in endothelial cells.
🔗 Proteomic data available at: ebi.ac.uk/pride/archive/proj…
With Tong Xu, Vera Janssen and Nathalie Reinhard as shared first authors, we would like to thank everyone who contributed!

De Nederlandse universiteiten hebben een gezamenlijk manifest gepubliceerd waarin ze het kabinet oproepen de bezuiniginen op universiteiten en wetenschap te stoppen.
Interested in sonoporation as drug delivery approach in blood vessels? Mind the underlying endothelial cytoskeleton! Its organisation influences the endothelial response to ultrasound-activated microbubbles. New collaborative publication out led by Kooiman's lab from Erasmus MC
Ultrasound-activated microbubbles mediate F-actin disruptions and endothelial gap formation during sonoporation.

In their #OpenAccess Review, @vera_janssen1 and @Huveneers_lab @amsterdamumc explore how recent advances in fluorescence & electron microscopy along with biosensors & optogenetic tools have updated long-standing models of cell–cell adhesion.
journals.biologists.com/jcs/…

ALT Updated models of junctional cytoskeletal force systems and maturing epithelial junctions. (A) A model of the transition of a nascent ZA and desmosome plaque into mature junctions. (B) A model of the balanced cytoskeletal pushing and pulling forces that organize AJ adhesion and mechanical coupling. (C) A controlled imbalance in pushing and pulling forces induces the formation of asymmetric junctions in collective cell migration.
