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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The endothelium forms a selective semi-permeable barrier controlling bidirectional transfer
between blood vessel and irrigated tissues. This crucial function relies on the dynamic …

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 …

Exchanges between the blood compartment and the surrounding tissues require a tight
regulation by the endothelial barrier. Recent reports inferred that VE-cadherin, an …

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 …

VE‐cadherin is an endothelial‐specific transmembrane protein concentrated at cell‐to‐cell
adherens junctions. Besides promoting cell adhesion and controlling vascular permeability …

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 …
