This is my acrylic abstract painting of a flow of capillaries. I blew bubbles on the paper to create the special effects: www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1572...

💡 Have you ever wondered how #circulating #tumor cells squeeze through narrow #capillaries during hashtag#metastasis ?
💥 We did, check out our latest publication just out #NatureMaterials: rdcu.be/eZHxJ
🗺️We mapped #MuralCells — including #pericytes and #smoothmuscle — as vectors➡️ to visualize where #PrimaryCilia🌟 occur across the 🐁🧠 #microvasculature.
The result? A striking pattern: #cilia are abundant on #capillaries and #venules, but almost absent on #arterioles.

(d) Percent distribution of primary cilia in MCs after microvascular stratification into pial and parenchymal vessels, including 1-3rd order capillaries from the MICrONS (mouse visual cortex), CA1 (mouse hippocampus), and h01 (human cortex) datasets. Note that neither CA1 nor h01 contain any pial vessels. (e) Lengths of MC primary cilia in pial and parenchymal vessels, including 1-3rd order capillaries MCs from MICrONS.
📊 #Pericytes are frequently ciliated in both 🐁 and 🚶♀️🧠—but mostly near #venules and venous-end #capillaries.
Venular mural cells: up to 90% ciliated in 🐁 datasets!
Arteriolar mural cells: almost none.
Why this gradient? Flow, pressure, permeability?

What do we think? I was just trying to get the burst blood vessels in my eye, but this looks kinda neat.

Using #InVivo #VolumeImaging, we found #age related #vascular changes:
• ↑ #Tortuosity of #PenetratingArterioles
• ↓ #Arteriolar-capillary density
• ↑ #Capillaries at the venous end + #aneurysm-like bulbs downstream of #PrecapillarySphincters.

Spotlight on Dr. Mark Nelson’s #NIH funded team and their discovery of a key mechanism by which #capillaries use #ionchannels to send retrograde signals along small blood vessels that direct blood flow to active regions of the brain. 🧪#neuroscience #science #scienceiscool #scicomm #medicine #medsky

Aaaaand finally:
#NCB2024
In November, @ralfhadams.bsky.social & co identified a distinct subset of post-arterial #capillaries, termed type R, which contribute to trabecular #bone formation in the diaphysis and respond to anti-#osteoporosis treatments.

Here we show how 🧠 #precapillarysphincters react to #CorticalSpreadingDepolarization which is associated with #migraine with #aura 🤕. #CSD has 3 phases: constriction, dilation, and a long lasting constriction that interrupts #bloodflow🩸 to #capillaries (Tinyurl.com/euasfses).
Here is a #precapillarysphincter. As #arterioles 🟢 dive into the 🧠, they branch to smaller vessels. When larger arterioles (15-25um) branch into #capillaries, they need a #sphincter (3-4um) to reduce #RBC flow⚫️ and pressure in the #capillary. The resistance is provided by #muralcell🔴 encirclement.
It's easy to remember the differences between #arteries, #capillaries & #veins when you make paper models of them! Click here to learn more: https://bit.ly/34Ksm8N

🥂Congratulations to @ralfhadams.bsky.social @vishalmkrishnan.bsky.social & co for their new Open Access study in our journal (@naturecellbiology.bsky.social) identifying type R #capillaries and showing their role in trabecular #bone formation in the diaphysis.

Did you know that #neuronal #processes arrange perpendicular to #vascular direction around #penetratingarterioles and arterial end #capillaries? 🤔 I have speculated that this may enhance #neurovascularcoupling. Here I show examples in the #human #brain. 🧠 vb.bioscientifica.com/view/journal...
