Proud to share our new paper in EMBO Reports! 🧬 How does a cell "decide" to become lymphatic vs blood endothelium? Turns out it's not just which genes switch on — it's how the genome folds around them. 💥 link.springer.com/content/pdf/... #Lymphatics #Zebrafish #DevBio #VascularBiology #Genomics
The topologically associating domains (TADs) and chromatin accessibility of lymphatic endothelial cells diverge from those of blood endothelial cells. These differences underlie the activation of LEC-specific regulatory networks governing cell identity and involving genes linked to lymphatic disease.
