Wow. A blast from the past. 19 years ago this week we all got our bachelor’s degree results. In order to buy some time, the Professors made us do a group photo; however, they took the photo when no one was looking.

It’s north London Derby day. The most exciting day in football for an Arsenal fan, with the exception of cup games. Everything is at stake for Arsenal, we cannot lose to our arch rivals. Dig deep lads and show spurs how real football is played @arsenalfc.bsky.social

Their work showed that loss of this gene in fibroblasts, exacerbated heart failure in male, but not female, mice. Congrats, Dr. Little! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41250926/
Fibroblast Has2 limits acute heart failure following myocardial infarction in male mice - PubMed
Changes to the extracellular matrix support acute wound healing following myocardial infarction. Fibroblasts regulate the composition of the extracellular matrix, in part, by secreting hyaluronan. Details surrounding the regulation, source, and impact of hyaluronan production after MI are largely un …
