After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

Dear reviewer, I AM the expert! This is the most unhelpful comment from my #cihr grant. I guess all my training in vascular biology since undergrad (+MSc, PhD, 2.5yrs postdoc, 13 years running a lab in vascular research) and several publications on the topic not relevant?!?! Bring back f2f reviews!

#DBfeature 🐠🫀 Gpnmb promotes the recruitment of macrophages post cardiac cryoinjury in zebrafish, influencing immune and fibrotic responses during regeneration -S Gupta, GK Bajwa, H El-Sammak, K Mattonet, S Günther, M Looso, D Stainier, R Marín-Juez @rmarinjuez.bsky.social tinyurl.com/yc7hv5dn

Upper panel: Immunostaining of zebrafish ventricles at 7 dpci after cryoinjury shows fewer macrophages (mpeg1:EGFP⁺, magenta) in gpnmb⁻/⁻ ventricles compared with wild-type. DAPI staining (blue) marks nuclei (B). Quantification confirms a significant reduction in macrophage numbers within the injured border zone of gpnmb⁻/⁻ tissue (C).

Lower panel: Acid Fuchsin Orange-G (AFOG) stained sections of zebrafish cryoinjured ventricles show that gpnmb⁻/⁻ ventricles develop larger collagen-rich scars than wild-type at 30 and 90 dpci (F and G). Quantification illustrates greater proportions of large scar areas in gpnmb⁻/⁻ ventricles (H), indicating impaired scar resolution and delayed cardiac regeneration.
