Endothelial cell–cell adherens junctions (AJs) supervise fundamental vascular functions,
such as the control of permeability and transmigration of circulating leukocytes, and the …

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

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 …

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

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 …

Endothelial cells control the passage of plasma constituents and circulating cells from blood
to the underlying tissues. This specialized function is lost or impaired in several pathological …

Data collected during the past years indicate that AJ-and more specifically VE-cadherin play
an important role in endothelial cell biology. VE-cadherin may transfer information …

Although cadherins appear to be necessary for proper cell-cell contacts, the physiological
role of VE-cadherin (vascular endothelium cadherin) in adult tissue has not been clearly …

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 …

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 …
