Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, an endothelium-specific adhesion protein, is found in
the junctions between endothelial cells (ECs). It's crucial to maintain the homogeneity of …

Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin is a strictly endothelial specific adhesion molecule
located at junctions between endothelial cells. In analogy of the role of E-cadherin as major …

Endothelial cells form cell–cell adhesive structures, called adherens and tight junctions,
which maintain tissue integrity, but must be dynamic for leukocyte transmigration during the …

VE-cadherin is an endothelial-specific cadherin that is essential for the formation and
regulation of endothelial cell junctions. The adhesive function and expression levels of VE …

Because angiogenesis is a key step in a number of pathologic processes, including tumor
growth and atherosclerosis, many research studies have investigated the regulatory signals …

Cell to cell junctions direct endothelial responses both in quiescent and angiogenic vessels.
Endothelial cells express both tight and adherens junctions. Although different in their …

VE-cadherin is a component of endothelial cell-to-cell adherens junctions, and it has a key
role in the maintenance of vascular integrity. During embryo development, VE-cadherin is …

Blood and lymphatic vessels make up the vascular system of vertebrates and are lined by
specialized endothelial cells. The connections between endothelial cells are formed by …

Cell to cell junctions are important regulators of endothelial responses both in quiescent and
angiogenic vessels. Endothelial cells express tight and adherens junctional structures …

Although being a monolayer the vascular endothelium controls fundamental vessel
functions such as permeability, leukocyte extravasation and angiogenesis. The endothelial …
