Human Organ-Specific Endothelial Cell Heterogeneity
BioE faculty Charles Murry, Kelly Stevens and Ying Zheng, and interdisciplinary colleagues from across UW, investigated the properties of endothelial cells (ECs), isolated from four human major organs—the heart, lung, liver, and kidneys—in individual fetal tissues at three months' gestation, at gene expression, and at cellular function levels. Their findings showed the link between human EC heterogeneity and organ development and can be exploited therapeutically to contribute in organ regeneration, disease modeling, as well as guiding differentiation of tissue-specific ECs from human pluripotent stem cells.
miR-155 Modifies Inflammation, Endothelial Activation and Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction in Cerebral Malaria
The researchers demonstrate that miR-155 has a mechanistic role in host response to malaria via regulation of endothelial activation, microvascular leak and blood brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction in cerebral malaria (CM).
Optical coherence tomography based microangiography provides an ability to longitudinally image arteriogenesis in vivo
The researchers demonstrate that optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based microangiography (OMAG) is a promising imaging tool for longitudinal study of collateral vessel remodeling in small animals, and can be applied in guiding the in-vivo experiments of arteriogenesis stimulation to treat occlusive vascular diseases, including stroke.
