Disruption of aquaporin-mediated water efflux leads to excessive HEC swelling and rupture, as shown here in this movie, ultimately reducing HSPC production. (Green cells are gata2b+ cells.)

Do also check out amazing videos of cortical actin dynamics in #zebrafish #endothelialcells such as this one! @riken-bdr.bsky.social

Feb 11 is International Day of Women and Girls in Science and at RIKEN BDR, we celebrate the achievements of #womeninscience by holding an IDWGIS Symposium. We also recently launched Mirai Alliance, a mentorship network for women researchers in life sciences. www.bdr.riken.jp/en/news/bdr-...

Simply delighted to end the year with the acceptance of Yan’s paper www.nature.com/articles/s41.... It was a heroic effort on her part, and many thanks to all our collaborators for their help! @vizcie.bsky.social @juliaeckert.bsky.social

Thanks to the generosity of #FujiharaFoundation and the excellent organization of Fumio Motegi and his team, the ' #Mechanics of Life Across Scales' symposium was held successfully at beautiful Awaji. We had 3 days of fantastic #mechanobiology talks with speakers from Japan, India, Europe and US.
