"RNA mechanisms governing endothelial cell behavior in development and homeostasis"

Our blood vessels play a key homeostatic role through the circulation of blood and, therefore provide function to all organs. Due to such role in health, the dysfunction of blood vessels is implicated in virtually every pathological condition in humans. The challenge ahead is to understand the heterogeneous and plastic cell behaviors that vascular cells acquired to function in each organ. The Nicoli laboratory is decoding how vascular cells “learn” such diversity during the development of vertebrate embryos. Particularly, we focus on post-transcriptional mechanisms that govern key signaling pathways shaping vascular heterogeneity.
