This was the exhibition of part of the Sciart generated during the NeuVa ART Lab workshops (an outreach activity linked to our ERC grant @erc.europa.eu) where participants followed a scientific talk about the neurovasculature and inspired by it created textil-art pieces.

Congratulations to Ki Hong Lee & Moritz Jakab for their landmark paper in Nature Commun showing that endothelial cell Wnt-mediated angiocrine signaling in the liver is controlled by hemodynamic forces and not by oxygen gradients. Stunningly beautiful work! www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-76966-7

Fibroblasts play an important role in the compartmentalization of the choroid plexus, according to new work in mice.

Newly identified barrier cells seal off choroid plexus from CSF, rest of brain
A long-overlooked layer of fibroblasts exists inside the choroid plexus of mice and humans, adding complexity to the area’s compartmentalization.
