Leah showed really interesting data regarding HFpEF and pericytes...

...Guille showed how important ECM and stiffness are for microvasculature and ageing...

... and they worked hard to collect MANY samples in our lab.

And this is a red kite, because they are majestic and fly from Central Europe to the Iberian Peninsula in autumn
