It’s #AVMAwarenessMonth; all about education, solidarity and sharing. We hope 2 highlight that, unlike #aneurysms, AVMs are considered a #RareDisease affecting 18/100,000 in the US & that #AVM pts face things others don't. It's why we say, #ItsOnlyRAREUntilItHappenstoYOU.

Our PhD student Sera Nakisli presenting recent findings on effects of KRAS somatic mutations on brain arteriovenous malformations. @sera_idil

A delicious end to another semester at the Nielsen Lab! Thank you to Dr. Nielsen and her family for opening your home for this celebration!

Mutations in the brain vascular endothelial cells can lead to brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs). I am working to determine effects to brain vascular pericytes during bAVM development and pathology. #OUVirtualExpo #OUSigmaXi @bobcatsdiscover Nielsen Lab OU Biological Sciences

Julia LaComb #OUVirtualExpo @bobcatsdiscover I am studying the expression of pericytes in association with endothelial cells in regards to arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in mammals. My focus is N-Cadherin, a protein required to maintain association between the two cell types.

Our paper describing nuclear marker Erg to characterize endothelial transcripts from archived brain tissues is out : doi.org/10.1038/s41374…. It was an enjoyable process at Laboratory Investigations. Look for the next stage of this work coming soon from Omar
