    Abstract Background Poor nutrition and lifestyle choices are major contributors to the development and progression of various chronic diseases. Enhancing patients' awareness of healthy nutrition and lifestyle habits by interprofessional healthcare teams can play a significant role in tackling many chronic diseases, particularly in underserved communities with inequitable access to healthcare and educational opportunities. However, healthcare professionals are not adequately prepared to provide effective, culturally competent nutrition and lifestyle coaching due to a lack of emphasis on these topics in the curricula of many healthcare professional programs. Objective This study introduces a virtual, interprofessional, team-based elective course to address the curricular gap in nutrition education among healthcare professional programs. Methods Quantitative and qualitative pre-/post-surveys were utilized to evaluate course impact on student's knowledge, confidence in coaching families, and interprofessional competencies. Quantitative pre-/post-training scores were analyzed by a two-tailed, Mann-Whitney test, where P < 0.05 indicated a significant difference. Additionally, student learning outcomes were assessed using readiness assurance tests and application exercises, along with end-of-course presentations and mock interviews. Results Pre-/post-course assessments (n = 16) demonstrated significant improvement in students' confidence in coaching families (20%; P = 0.01) and knowledge of coaching curriculum (87%; P < 0.001). Improvement in different interprofessional competencies ranged between 15% (P = 0.002) and 46% (P < 0.001). Course material/activities, facilitation, impact on learning new knowledge/skills/mindset, and application in future practice were applauded by 81-94% of students. Conclusion Positive outcomes of this course encourage future offerings and systematic incorporation of similar training in healthcare professional programs to prepare clinicians capable of transforming lives through interprofessional, patient-centered nutrition and lifestyle coaching.

    Abstract Endothelial cells in veins differ in morphology, function and gene expression from those in arteries and lymphatics. Understanding how venous and arterial identities are induced during development is required to understand how arterio-venous malformations occur, and to improve the outcome of vein grafts in surgery by promoting arterialization of veins. To identify factors that promote venous endothelial cell fate in vivo, we isolated veins from quail embryos, at different developmental stages, that were grafted into the coelom of chick embryos. Endothelial cells migrated out from the grafted vein and their colonization of host veins and/or arteries was quantified. We show that venous fate is promoted by sympathetic vessel innervation at embryonic day 11. Removal of sympathetic innervation decreased vein colonization, while norepinephrine enhanced venous colonization. BMP treatment or inhibition of ERK enhanced venous fate, revealing environmental neurotransmitter and BMP signaling and intrinsic ERK inhibition as actors in venous fate acquisition. We also identify the BMP antagonist Noggin as a potent mediator of venous arterialization.

    Abstract In this issue of Developmental Cell, Anbalagan et al. demonstrate that pituicytes, a subtype of astroglia, drive endothelial cell permeability in the zebrafish embryo neurohypophysis. This occurs via secretion of Vegfa/Tgfβ3 permeability factors that promote formation of fenestrae and the repression of anti-inflammatory retinoic acid signaling that induces tight cell junctions.

    Abstract The lymphatic system of the gut plays important roles in the transport of dietary lipids, as well as in immunosurveillance and removal of interstitial fluid. Historically, despite its crucial functions in intestinal homeostasis, the lymphatic system has been poorly studied. In the last 2 decades, identification of specific molecular mediators of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) growth together with novel genetic approaches and intravital imaging techniques, have advanced our understanding of the mechanisms regulating intestinal lymphatic physiology in health and disease. As its metabolic implications are gaining recognition, intestinal lymphatic biology is currently experiencing a surge in interest. This review describes current knowledge related to molecular control of intestinal lymphatic vessel structure and function. We discuss regulation of chylomicron entry into lymphatic vessels by vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs), hormones, transcription factors and the specific signaling pathways involved. The information covered supports the emerging role of intestinal lymphatics in etiology of the metabolic syndrome and their potential as a therapeutic target.

    Abstract Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) lining lymphatic vessels develop specialized cell-cell junctions that are crucial for the maintenance of vessel integrity and proper lymphatic vascular functions. Successful lymphatic drainage requires a division of labor between lymphatic capillaries that take up lymph via open "button-like" junctions, and collectors that transport lymph to veins, which have tight "zipper-like" junctions that prevent lymph leakage. In recent years, progress has been made in the understanding of these specialized junctions, as a result of the application of state-of-the-art imaging tools and novel transgenic animal models. In this review, we discuss lymphatic development and mechanisms governing junction remodeling between button and zipper-like states in LECs. Understanding lymphatic junction remodeling is important in order to unravel lymphatic drainage regulation in obesity and inflammatory diseases and may pave the way towards future novel therapeutic interventions.

    Abstract Angiogenesis occurs in distinct phases: initial spouting is followed by remodelling in which endothelial cells (ECs) composing blood vessels rearrange by migrating against the direction of flow. Abnormal remodelling can result in vascular malformation. Such is the case in mutation of the Alk1 receptor within the mouse retina which disrupts flow-migration coupling, creating mixed populations of ECs polarised with/against flow which aggregate into arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).

    Abstract Background: The blood brain barrier (BBB) preserves neuronal function in the central nervous system (CNS) by tightly controlling metabolite exchanges with the blood. In the eye, the retina is likewise protected by the blood-retina barrier (BRB) to maintain phototransduction. We showed that the secreted guidance cue Netrin-1 regulated BBB integrity, by binding to endothelial Unc5B and regulating canonical β-catenin dependent expression of BBB gene expression.
    Objective: Here, we investigated if Netrin-1-binding to endothelial Unc5B also controlled BRB integrity, and if this process involved Norrin/β-catenin signaling, which is the major known driver of BRB development and maintenance.
    Methods: We analyzed Tamoxifen-inducible loss- and gain- of-function alleles of
    Results: Inducible endothelial
    Conclusions: The data identify Netrin1-Unc5B as novel regulators of BRB integrity, with implications for diseases associated with BRB disruption.

    Abstract In the adult bone marrow (BM), endothelial cells (ECs) are an integral component of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-supportive niche, which modulates HSC activity by producing secreted and membrane-bound paracrine signals. Within the BM, distinct vascular arteriole, transitional, and sinusoidal EC subtypes display unique paracrine expression profiles and create anatomically-discrete microenvironments. However, the relative contributions of vascular endothelial subtypes in supporting hematopoiesis is unclear. Moreover, constitutive expression and off-target activity of currently available endothelial-specific and endothelial-subtype-specific murine cre lines potentially confound data analysis and interpretation. To address this, we describe two tamoxifen-inducible cre-expressing lines, Vegfr3-creER
