Research Associate Dr. Janine Meienberg and Biomedical Analyst Valeria Turco work at the intersection of diagnostics and discovery, focusing on rare inherited connective tissue disorders that weaken the aorta and, in the most severe cases, put lives at constant risk. Their work centers on conditions such as vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (vEDS) and Marfan syndrome (MFS), diseases that often go undetected until a catastrophic vascular event occurs. What motivates them isn’t only biology, it’s the people behind the mutations. One project, they recall, began as a request from a patient who simply wanted to help save their family’s lives. That moment crystallized the lab’s mission: to translate genetic insight into meaningful, testable therapies. Turning Complex Genetics into Clear Measurements For those unfamiliar with this field, Janine and Valeria describe their work in refreshingly tangible terms. Using murine models, they recover five aortic segments from each animal and measure the maximum force the tissue can withstand before rupture. This allows them to directly compare healthy versus diseased tissue, as well as treated versus untreated samples at the level of individual vessels. This approach became especially powerful after a suitable mouse model for vEDS was identified. Originally developed almost by accident in another research group, the model ultimately proved too closely to mimic human disease. With it, Janine and Valeria could finally quantify something clinicians care deeply about but rarely get to see aortic integrity itself. To do this, the team relies on three DMT Tissue Puller systems, which enable them to test small, delicate aortic samples in liquid while achieving highly reproducible results.
“These were not the answers we expected,” Janine explains, “but they were the answers the data gave us.” From the Bench to the Bigger Picture The broader goal of this research is clear: expand therapeutic options for patients with inherited aortic diseases, especially through drug repurposing. By identifying existing, market-approved drugs that can increase aortic rupture force, the path from bench to bedside could be dramatically shortened. Looking ahead five to ten years, Janine and Valeria hope to:
Their work sits at a rare and valuable crossroads where diagnostics inform research and research feeds directly back into diagnostics. Overcoming the Hard Parts Progress didn’t come easily. One of the biggest early challenges was finding an objective, reliable readout system that could truly distinguish between healthy and diseased aortas. Another was navigating the bureaucratic complexity of animal study approvals, a reality familiar to many researchers. The breakthrough came with the identification of the tissue puller approach as the right solution. “The system gave us a clear, quantitative answer,” Valeria says. “Once we had that, everything else could move forward.”
For Janine and Valeria, the value isn’t just convenience, it’s confidence in the data.
Pride, Perseverance and Advice for the Next Generation What they’re most proud of isn’t a single publication or dataset, but the fact that their work meaningfully contributes to a small but critically important patient population one that often lacks both visibility and treatment options. Their advice to aspiring researchers is simple, honest and hard-earned:
In a field defined by fragile tissues and high stakes, Dr. Janine Meienberg and Valeria Turco are building something resilient: a framework for understanding, measuring and ultimately strengthening the vessels that matter most.  Advancing Vascular Science Through Human Arteries, Sex Differences and Even GiraffesWith more than four decades of experience studying the smallest and often most overlooked blood vessels in the body, Professor Christian Aalkjær has built a career around one central belief... to truly understand vascular disease, we must study real human vessels. As a long-time DMT customer and a pioneer in resistance artery research, his work continues to shape how scientists think about vascular structure, function, and sex-specific disease mechanisms. A Lifelong Focus on Small Arteries Professor Aalkjær’s research centers on small arteries, the resistance vessels that play a critical role in regulating blood pressure and tissue perfusion. His journey into this field was heavily influenced by his mentor, Professor Mulvany - one of the founding figures in modern myograph-based vascular research. Over the years, Professor Aalkjær became particularly intrigued by sex differences in vascular structure. What began as a curiosity quickly became a defining theme of his work. One of the most striking findings was that male and female vessels are both structurally and functionally different. These differences are not merely anatomical, they help explain why certain vascular diseases are more prevalent in one sex than the other. To study these questions properly, his lab relies on human tissue. Before experiments can even begin, ethical approval is required, and patients voluntarily donate small biopsies often taken from the gluteal region to advance scientific understanding. “It’s critical that we study human vessels,” he emphasizes. “Animal models are valuable, but they don’t tell the whole story.” Unexpected Insights into Sex-Specific Disease One of the most surprising realizations from Professor Aalkjær’s research is just how differently vascular disease can manifest between males and females. Some diseases occur almost exclusively in women, while others disproportionately affect men. His work aims to uncover why examining how structural and functional differences in blood vessels may predispose each sex to specific conditions. This line of research continues to challenge long-held assumptions in vascular physiology and highlights the importance of designing experiments that account for biological sex, rather than treating it as a secondary variable.
The findings were remarkable. Brain vessels operate under relatively low pressure, while the vessels in the hooves endure extremely high pressures, revealing dramatic regional adaptations within the same animal. These insights have had lasting implications for understanding pressure regulation and vascular remodeling. Challenges Behind the Science
Like most long-term research programs, Professor Aalkjær’s work has not been without challenges. Securing funding remains a constant hurdle, particularly when grant committees struggle to fully engage with complex study designs. Building and maintaining a strong lab team is another ongoing effort selecting researchers who are not only technically skilled but resilient in the face of failure. “Many experiments won’t work,” he says candidly. “You have to be prepared for frustration.” His approach to overcoming these challenges is rooted in collaboration and perspective supporting former students, helping colleagues troubleshoot experiments, and celebrating successes whenever they come. Why DMT Equipment Matters DMT systems have played a key role in enabling Professor Aalkjær’s research, particularly their versatility and precision. His lab uses a specially modified myograph system that allows electrical stimulation of the tissue, and in this way investigates how nerves in the vessel wall can control the activity of the smooth muscle cells in the arterial wall. This capability is essential for studying neurovascular interactions and preserving physiological relevance something Professor Aalkjær considers indispensable when working with delicate human arteries. A Lasting Impact When asked what he is most proud of, his answer is simple but powerful... 'bringing human arteries into the lab' By prioritizing human tissue and physiological relevance, Professor Aalkjær has helped move vascular science closer to the conditions that actually matter for patients. Advice for the Next Generation For aspiring researchers, his advice is refreshingly honest: “Be prepared for many frustrations.” Experiments will fail. Data will be messy. Progress will be slow. But success when it comes is worth celebrating. Just as importantly, he encourages young scientists to support one another and recognize good work when they see it. After more than 40 years in the field, Professor Christian Aalkjær’s work continues to exemplify curiosity, rigor, and a deep commitment to advancing vascular science one small artery at a time.  Rewriting the Future of Aneurysm Care: Dr. Mitra Esfandiarei’s Landmark DiscoveryIn a quiet corner of the cardiovascular research world, Dr. Mitra Esfandiarei is reshaping how scientists think about one of the most dangerous and misunderstood conditions of the vascular system: aortic aneurysms. Her work doesn’t just examine how these weak spots in blood vessels form and rupture; it challenges long-held assumptions about what we can do to prevent them. For Mitra, the heart of her research has always been simple: How can we slow or stop disease before it begins? Her curiosity took her deep into the vascular system, where she studies the forces and molecular signals that can either strengthen or compromise the aorta. She became particularly captivated by the idea that disease isn’t a passive process—it can be influenced, modified, and perhaps entirely prevented. Her current project focuses on aortic aneurysms using a transgenic mouse model. By studying a known weak point in the aorta, she removes the vessel, keeps it alive, and then observes how it behaves under different conditions. She experiments with factors like blood-pressure-lowering medications and lifestyle-based interventions to see what can actually stop or slow aneurysm progression. It’s intricate work that requires precision, patience, and a deep understanding of both biology and mechanics. And sometimes, it leads to surprising discoveries.  While investigating gene mutations associated with aneurysm formation, Mitra encountered unexpected phenotypes—this time not just in vascular tissue, but in the brain. That moment of surprise reinforced for her just how interconnected biological systems can be, and how much remains undiscovered. But perhaps her most impactful realization came from studying something much more familiar: exercise. What began as a study of mechanical forces and their influence on aneurysms turned into a career-defining finding. Dr. Esfandiarei discovered that exercise--not intense, not strenuous, but mild to light—had a profoundly positive effect on aneurysm health. Even simple walking could make a measurable difference. After two to three rigorous years of data collection, with strict protocols needed to reliably phenotype aneurysm models, the findings were clear: Training at just 55% intensity could slow or even block aneurysm development. This wasn’t simply interesting science—this was paradigm shifting. Her results helped inspire the American Heart Association and cardiology groups to reconsider and rewrite guidance around activity levels for aneurysm patients. The study won funding, recognition, and has already begun shaping new conversations in clinical medicine. And, as Mitra humbly notes, none of it would have been possible without the tools that allowed her to see the smallest mechanical changes inside fragile vessels.  DMT’s precision and sensitivity were essential to Mitra’s work. When dealing with arteries this small, you need equipment that can deliver reliable pressure and isometric measurements every single time. For her, DMT systems weren’t just beneficial—they were foundational. They enabled her to measure subtle mechanical changes, validate her hypothesis, and ultimately produce data strong enough to influence national guidelines.
But the impact of this equipment extends far beyond her own research. As Mitra explains, “This equipment is supporting the training of the next generation of translational and clinical scientists—those who will be answering key questions about human disease in the future.” Her medical and graduate students often tell her that working with the myograph chamber allows them to actually see changes in vasculature in an ex vivo system. Concepts that once lived only in lecture slides suddenly come alive before their eyes. Their reaction is always the same: “This is so cool!” (Mitra's and her team uses: 620M & 114PN models) Mitra believes this hands-on experience is part of what draws students to her lab. “Having the ability to work with live tissue has always been one of the biggest attractions,” she says—and seeing real physiology unfold in real time inspires a deeper understanding of the human body than any textbook ever could. Today, Dr. Esfandiarei continues to push boundaries, refining how the scientific community conceptualizes aneurysms—not as inevitable structural failures, but as actively regulated conditions that can be modified through interventions like diet and exercise. Her ultimate goal is clear: move the field toward preventative strategies that reduce the need for surgical intervention and improve quality of life. When asked what advice she gives to her students and young researchers, her message is both simple and powerful: “Stay curious, but be persistent. And don’t be afraid to cross boundaries.” It’s a fitting philosophy from a scientist whose work has already crossed disciplines, challenged assumptions, and forged new paths in cardiovascular health.  The Vessels of Survival: Dr. Johanna Hannan on Healing the Body After Cancer When it comes to understanding how blood vessels adapt, heal, and sometimes fail, few researchers bring as much insight and passion as Dr. Johanna Hannan, Associate Professor of Urology at the School of Medicine and Public Health at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her work explores the intricate vascular systems that supply vital organs—particularly the bladder, erectile tissue, and other pelvic structures—and how these systems are affected by disease, aging, and cancer treatments.
Dr. Hannan’s journey into vascular research began at Queen’s University in Canada, where she first used DMT myograph systems under the guidance of Dr. Michael Adams. That early experience sparked a fascination with how blood vessels respond to injury and stress—an interest that continues to shape her research today. Currently, Dr. Hannan and her team are investigating the long-term impact of radiation therapy on pelvic and prostate cancer survivors, as well as similar effects in women’s health. Their work focuses on targeting specific pelvic organs to better understand the lasting impact of treatment on vascular and smooth muscle function. Soon, they’ll have access to patient-derived tissue samples, bringing their studies even closer to clinical application. When asked about unexpected findings, Dr. Hannan recalled her graduate research on penile feed arteries and the challenges of studying injured vessels. Using spontaneously hypertensive rats, her team uncovered striking evidence of age-related vascular remodeling primarily in the penile feed arteries—and in models of chronic kidney disease, even calcification of penile blood vessels. These insights have helped connect the dots between systemic illnesses and local vascular changes. For Dr. Hannan, the DMT myograph systems remain central to this work. With two 620M wire myographs and two 820MO organ bath setups in her lab, her team can efficiently generate large volumes of data. “The DMT systems let us ask and answer questions quickly,” she said. “They make it possible to study molecular responses in great detail, especially when using pharmacological agents or other interventions.” While her research continues to produce important findings, Dr. Hannan finds her greatest fulfillment in mentorship and training. “What brings me the most joy,” she said, “is seeing students grow into independent researchers or go on to medical school. Watching them present their work at conferences—especially as podium presenters—is incredibly rewarding. I feel like I’m helping shape the next generation of scientists.” When asked about the challenges she’s faced along the way, Dr. Hannan was candid about the realities of navigating academia as a woman in science. She acknowledged that at times, it meant having to prove herself more than others or finding her voice in male-dominated spaces. Yet, she sees those experiences as part of what shaped her resilience and leadership style. “It’s important to recognize your worth and keep pushing forward,” she said. “Those moments make you stronger and help you advocate for the next generation coming up behind you.” Her advice to young researchers carries that same message of courage and growth: “Don’t avoid the hard tasks or the things that make you uncomfortable. That’s often where the biggest discoveries come from. Don’t let insecurities stop you—growth comes from pushing through the challenges.” Through her commitment to both science and mentorship, Dr. Johanna Hannan exemplifies the resilience she studies. Her work continues to uncover how vessels adapt and endure—illuminating not only the biology of survivorship but also the human spirit that drives scientific discovery forward.

With a career spanning decades and an ever-evolving portfolio of high-impact publications, Prof. Danser is not just a professor—he’s a mentor, a visionary, and a relentless investigator of human cardiovascular physiology.
A Lab Like No Other... What makes Prof. Danser’s lab stand out is its impressive infrastructure and intense research throughput. Housing over 15 PhD students, the lab runs two full in-vitro experiments daily, utilizing 40 different baths. Their systems include multiple 1-, 2- and 4-channel systems. Each setup is used to its full potential, and every student is extensively trained before operating the systems—ensuring precision and reproducibility in every assay. “At this level, reliability is not optional - it’s essential,” notes PhD candidate Madhavi Harhangi, who has spent three years in the lab. “We’re working with very special tissues - human arteries and vessels that no one else in the world has access to. We need equipment that gives us results we can trust.” Human Tissue, Real-Time Research What sets the Danser lab apart is its direct access to rare, high-quality human tissues. Through an exclusive partnership with a Dutch hospital, the lab receives fresh vessel samples - including coronary arteries and placental arteries from mothers with a history of drug addiction - delivered via courier, sometimes in the middle of the night. A dedicated team member is always on call to receive these samples and ensure proper storage and preparation, no matter when the tissue is delivered. “Isolating vessels is key,” says Harhangi. “We isolate umbilical cord arteries from placentas exposed to addictive substances during pregnancy. These tissues allow us to study how drugs impact fetal development - a line of research no one else is currently pursuing.” Accessing and publishing research on these unique samples requires special ethical approval and patient consent. Prof. Danser emphasizes the importance of proactivity in sourcing quality vessels, a philosophy that underpins the lab’s success in pioneering research on sFlt-1, VEGF inhibitors, and preeclampsia-related mechanisms. The Pressure to Publish... and Excel... Prof. Danser holds his students to a rigorous academic standard. Each PhD candidate is expected to publish four scientific papers within four years. This goal is not merely academic - it’s a reflection of the lab’s intense daily workflow, strategic planning, and a research culture built around continuous training and scientific excellence. With such high expectations, every element in the lab - from technique to technology - must perform at the highest level. The team transitioned from DMT’s 2-channel 410A systems to the more advanced 4-channel 620M, allowing them to scale up experiments and reduce turnaround time. Why DMT? Trust and Precision... For Prof. Danser and his students, DMT’s systems are more than just tools - they are the foundation of reliable science. “The accuracy and consistency of DMT equipment are unmatched,” says Harhangi. “When you’re working with tissue this rare and data this valuable, you can’t afford to question your setup.” As the lab continues to break new ground in the field of human vascular pharmacology—whether through antibody-based treatments, receptor analysis, or translational studies in preeclampsia - one thing is clear... excellence is not an accident in the Danser lab. It’s engineered every single day.  🧪 Does size matter? When it comes to your lab bench — absolutely!

 Dr. Eric Belin de Chantemele, a Professor of Medicine at the Vascular Biology Center at Augusta University, has dedicated his research to understanding the complex relationship between obesity, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, particularly in women. His work explores how lipid deficiency and lipo-dystrophy in mice impact vascular function, with a specific focus on how the absence of fat affects cardiac health. Interestingly, his initial research was inspired by studying the effects of spaceflight on cardiac disease in mice, which eventually led him to uncover critical insights about obesity-related hypertension.
One of Dr. Belin de Chantemele’s most surprising discoveries came while working with a mouse model deficient in alpha-1B receptors. When he ran out of male mice and had to shift focus to female mice, he discovered that female mice displayed worse vascular function. This finding was unexpected but he believed in the data, which led to his groundbreaking research on leptin, a hormone that regulates estrogen—resulting in his most cited paper to date. His research holds immense promise for the future, with the ultimate goal of developing targeted treatments for cardiovascular disease in women. Dr. Belin de Chantemele hopes that his work will lead to more personalized therapies that address the unique cardiovascular challenges faced by women, closing the gap in treatment outcomes. A long-time user of DMT equipment from his postdoc in France, Dr. Belin de Chantemele praises the reliability and ease of use of the systems, noting that his lab operates seven DMT wire systems daily. This dependable technology has been instrumental in facilitating his research and ensuring consistent results. When reflecting on his career, Dr. Belin de Chantemele is most proud of the impact he’s had on the next generation of researchers. Many of his trainees have transitioned to faculty positions, received prestigious awards, and, in 2024 alone, three of his students were awarded fellowships while another three secured R01 grants. Like many in his field, Dr. Belin de Chantemele faced significant challenges early in his career, particularly in securing his first R01 grant, which took three submission cycles to obtain. His advice to aspiring researchers is simple yet powerful: “Be persistent, believe in your data, and don’t be afraid to fail.” Through his commitment to research, mentorship, and innovation, Dr. Belin de Chantemele continues to shape the scientific community and pave the way for future breakthroughs in cardiovascular health.  🔧 New Video Alert! 🎥
