LINCing the Nucleus to Endothelial Cell Function in Blood Vessels Blood flow-generated shear forces regulate vascular endothelial cell status and signaling, and disrupted responses are linked to cardiovascular disease. We investigate how nuclear membrane proteins integrate forces and communicate to cell-cell … Read More

Sex-dependent cAMP Pools in Vascular Smooth Muscle: Role of Sex Hormones This talk focuses on the sex-dependent regulation of subcellular cAMP compartments in vascular smooth muscle. Our research revealed a sex-specific distribution of cAMP pools that contribute to sex-dependent regulation … Read More
Brains, Blood Vessels, & Hearts: Investigating Cardio-Cerebral Crosstalk using Pig Models of Heart Failure The primary focus of my research is to investigate mechanisms involved in the development of heart disease and associated cognitive impairment, with the goal of discovering … Read More
Age-related clonal hematopoiesis: A Novel Driver of Hypertension? The rising prevalence of hypertension with age poses a major public health challenge due to its role as a critical risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Parallel to this trend, older individuals frequently … Read More

All Trainees Trainees should prepare a 3-4 minute introduction about themselves and their project—no slides! Audience will be quiet diverse from 2nd year graduate students just getting into labs to faculty and also from very different areas. These short “elevator … Read More
All Trainees These sessions are initiated by having Dr. Isakson randomly selecting a trainee (by pulling a name from a jar) to give a 5-6 minute summary of their research project without slides indicating why their project is important, what … Read More
GPR126 is a mechanoreceptor by which the endocardium senses cardiac load We have combined the use of genetic and physiologic approaches in mice to define how the adhesion GPCR GPR126 functions in vivo. Our findings reveal that GPR126 is activated by … Read More
