Ontogeny of Mechanosensation During Vascular Development
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Endothelial cells have the capacity to sense hemodynamic forces through the process of mechanotransduction. When blood flow starts in the embryo, many of the components required for sensing hemodynamic forces in the adult have not yet formed. We recently showed that hemodynamic forces were required for normal vascular development. In this work, we have been focusing on the development of a mechano‐sensory complex by studying the development of the glycocalyx. The glycocalyx forms extensions into the vascular lumen that are anchored directly to actin stress fibres of the cytoskeleton and transmit hemodynamic signals. By electron microscopy and immunohistochemical staining, we show that the glycocalyx is present as soon as blood flow starts. We then used selective enzymatic degradation to look at whether the glycocalyx has a functional role during vascular development. We found that during development, hyaluronan, but not other glycocalyx components, affected vascular permeability. We also found that degradation of heparan sulfate resulted in decreased expression of a subset of mechanotransduced genes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
