A notifiable #animal disease in Germany, #Marek’s disease is caused by the globally distributed Marek’s disease virus (MDV). Over the past century, the #virus, which causes #tumors in #chickens and has a high mortality rate, has become increasingly aggressive.

Did you know that during #embryo development, migrating #monocytes deposit tracks of pro-angiogenic #migrasomes guiding the formation of blood vessels?

In this interesting manuscript published in Nature Cell Biology, researchers at Tsinghua University in Beijing studied this phenomenon in the chorioallantoic membrane of chick embryos: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41556-022-01026-3

This could have implications in organotypic #tissueengineering and provide new ways how to inhibit #angiogenesis in solid #tumors.
