"Coordination of endothelial cell maturation and patterning by the epicardium" The coronary plexus arises from the integration of endothelial cells (ECs) with supportive mural cells and signals stemming from the epicardium. Synchronized with coronary remodeling, the epicardium undergoes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transformation (EMT); a process that regulates cell differentiation and growth factor secretion. Genetic mouse models with limited epicardial EMT have reduced subepicardial mesenchyme formation in addition to dysfunctional vasculature networks, yet the mechanisms underlying this catastrophic phenotype are unknown. Our lab…

ART ARNOLD, PhD Distinguished Professor UCLA, Integrative Biology & Physiology “My Mouse Has a Sex Difference. Now What Do I Do?” Friday, April 2, 2021 - 12:00 p.m. For zoom link and password, please contact Catherine Weston (cweston@mednet.ucla.edu) Abstract:  The NIH requires applicants to “consider sex as a biological variable (SABV) in the design and analysis of NIH-funded research involving animals and cells.” Yet, many investigators are unaware of a conceptual framework for approaching the study of sex differences, and…
