Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of human mortality, and despite an active research community many of the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Open questions surround molecular triggers, the relationship of GxE, impact of epigenetics, the role of sex, inflammation and microbiome, as well as metabolism and multi-organ links in cardiovascular disease. Advanced molecular and human-mimicking […]

Conference overview Vascularisation is a rapidly growing field, with researchers across disciplines recognising its crucial role in organ development, disease progression, and therapeutic delivery. Traditionally, vascular biologists have relied on animal models to investigate key processes such as vascular signalling, angiogenesis, and remodelling. These models remain foundational, however, they do not always fully capture human-specific […]
