The NAVBO Education Committee has asked some junior faculty to share their experiences during the transition from trainee to first independent post. We hope that their accounts of challenges confronted, dilemmas dissected, and lessons learned will help smooth your career path. If you would like to share your own experiences, please send us reflections on your transition to Assistant Professor or whatever form of solo flight you undertook. What helped you, what held you back, what was the "if only I had known" secret you can share. Send your piece to editor@navbo.org.
See "Lessons Learned" pieces on our web site - http://www.navbo.org/resources/lessons-learned

AAAS/SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists Now Seeking Entries
The American Association for the Advancement of Science, publisher of Science magazine, has partnered with SciLifeLab, a Swedish national center for molecular biosciences, to create the AAAS/SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists, in recognition of the dependence of global economic health upon a vibrant research community. Submissions are being accepted until August 1, 2016, for this year's competition, for which doctoral graduates may submit an essay based on their thesis work. Four winners, in different categories, will be selected for this international award. The grand prizewinner will receive $30,000; each of the three category winners will receive $10,000. The grand prize winning essay will be published in Science, and essays from the three category winners will be published online.

| Smooth Muscle Enriched Long Non-Coding RNA (SMILR) Regulates Cell Proliferation
Circulation
Background - Phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from a contractile to a synthetic state is implicated in diverse vascular pathologies including atherogenesis, plaque stabilisation, and neointimal hyperplasia. However, very little is known as to the role of long non coding RNA (lncRNA) during this process. Read more
Endogenous Transmembrane TNF-Alpha Protects Against Premature Senescence in Endothelial Colony Forming Cells
Circulation Research
Rationale: Transmembrane TNF-a (tmTNF-a) is the prime ligand for TNFR2, which has been shown to mediate angiogenic and blood vessel repair activities in mice. Read more |

New role for macrophages in repair of brain vascular rupture
Immunity
Fast repair of cerebrovascular ruptures that cause hemorrhagic stroke and brain microbleeds is vital for an effective therapeutic response. The dynamic cellular events involved in cerebrovascular repair remain unknown. Investigators at Southwest University in Beibei, China, using an experimental cerebrovascular rupture system in zebrafish, report that macrophages arriving at the lesion extend filopodia or lamellipodia to physically adhere to severed endothelial ends. These macrophages generate mechanical traction forces to pull the endothelial ends and facilitate their ligation, thus mediating the repair of the rupture.
Angiopoietin 2 expression in the cornea and its control of corneal neovascularization
British Journal of Ophthalmology
From the abstract: Researchers in Milan, Italy, report results of studies to define proangiogenic angiopoietin 2 (ANG2) expression and function in vascularized corneas. Corneal neovascularization (CNV) was induced in FVB mice by means of intrastromal suture placement. Corneas were whole-mounted, stained for CD31 and LYVE1 and lymphatic/blood vessels quantified. In humans and mice, ANG2 is expressed only in the epithelium, and modestly in the endothelium, of the avascular cornea. In vascularised corneas, ANG2 is expressed in the epithelium, endothelium and stroma. The authors suggest the existence of a mechanism regulating the onset of inflammation (and associated CNV) depending on injury severity.
Biomechanics of vascular mechanosensation and remodeling
Molecular Biology of the Cell
From the abstract: Endothelial cells lining the blood and lymphatic vessels experience fluid shear stress (FSS), a frictional force imposed by flowing blood. The endothelium continually senses the magnitude, pulsatility, and directionality of FSS. Sustained increases or decreases in FSS can induce vessel remodeling to maintain proper perfusion of tissue and pressure/flow relationships. This
review, co-authored by NAVBO member Martin Schwartz, describes the mechanisms involved in vascular mechanotransduction mechanisms and their relevance to physiology and disease.
