The Cardiac Positioning System – how do heart progenitors find their way? (MUNSTERBERG_U27DTP)

Primary Supervisor - Professor Andrea Munsterberg. The first organ to develop in vertebrate embryos is the heart, when two streams of cardiac progenitor cells undertake an epic migration before reuniting at the heart field – the site of future heart formation. Read more
 Supervisor: Prof A E Munsterberg

How does NRP2 keep blood vessels sealed and calm under stress? (ROBINSON_Q27DTP)

Blood vessels are lined by endothelial cells, which form a living barrier between blood and tissues. These cells must stay tightly connected, sense blood flow, respond to nutrients and communicate with immune cells, while avoiding unnecessary inflammation. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr S Robinson
