I'm really proud of our latest work that highlights endothelin signaling as a new pathway mediating immune cell interactions with lymphatic vessels. It's always an honor to publish in Circ Research, but to also have the cover image is the cherry on top! www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

Outstanding review by Kirabo and colleagues!

Here's an animation I made that shows fluid flow in/out of the kidneys, with emphasis on the lymphatics since they are often left out of anatomical illustrations: ➡️ Fluid enters via the renal artery ⬅️ Fluid exits via the renal vein, lymphatics, and as urine #scicomm #sciart #kidney #anatomy
