Another nice comment was published on our JACC study, this time in Nature Reviews Cardiology

Today we heard that both Hessel and Bogac managed to have manuscripts accepted through collaborative studies we performed with the groups of Oliver Soehnlein in Munich and with Karen Vanhorelbeke in Kortrijk:

Chrono-pharmacological targeting of the CCL2-CCR2 axis ameliorates atherosclerosis
Winter, C., Silvestre-Roig, C., Ortega-Gomez, A., Lemnitzer, P., Poelmann, H., Schumski,A., Winter, J., Drechsler, M., de Jong, R., Immler, R., Sperandio, M., Hristov, M., Zeller, T., Nicolaes, G.A.F., Weber, C., Viola, J.R., Hidalgo, A., Scheiermann, C., Soehnlein, O.
to be published in Cell Metabolism

Child-onset thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura caused by p.R498C and p.G259PfsX133 mutations in ADAMTS13.
Schelpe A., Orlando C., Ercig B., Geeroms C., Pareyn I., Vandeputte N., Velásquez P., Leydi C.,  Roose E., Fostier K., Nicolaes G., Deckmyn H., De Meyer S., Vanhoorelbeke K., Jochmans K.
to be published in the European Journal of Haematology

great news of course, congratulations!!

Today the JACC paper on the use of small molecule inhibitors of TRAF6 to prevent and reduce atherosclerosis is out.

The journal has dedicated an editorial comment to it, closing with: the future is here, After 20 years of investigating the inflammatory hypothesis in the biology of atherosclerosis, the time to translate the experimental findings to humans may finally have come.

Today we co-organised the NSBM Fall Meeting.
Its was a great success: excellent science in combination with a wonderful atmosphere.

The final programme for the NSBM Fall meeting is ready.

Looking forward to an exciting programme!

Kanin not only makes SKY peptides, he actually touched the sky when climbing Mount Kilimanjaro!

After a lot of work by many people, finally our paper on the use of the small molecule TRAF6-inhibitors for use in the prevention and reduction of atherosclerosis was accepted!

12-10-2017 Bogac’ first paper accepted for publication in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. Congratulations!!

Bogac’ abstract was selected for an oral presentation at the Dutch Medicine Days. It went very well and people finally understand what ADAMTS13 is all about now 🙂

Today Johana arrived in the lab to work on the second part of her ITN after having been at Sanquin. Good luck!
