Much controversy exists regarding the presence of the cadherin/catenin complex and its
intracellular attachment site in the testis, which is the functional unit for actin-based cell-cell …

Lymphatic vessels maintain body homeostasis by recirculation of fluid and cells. Cell
senescence induces lymphatic dysfunction. Impaired contractile function is caused by low …

Multimerin-2 is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein and member of the elastin microfibril
interface-located (EMILIN) family of proteins. Multimerin-2 is deposited along blood vessels …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are good candidates to treat burn wounds, a major cause of
morbidity, impaired life quality and resources consumption in developed countries. We took …

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer and it
forms highly vascularized tumors. The monocyte endoribonuclease MCPIP1 negatively …

β-Cell functionality and survival are highly dependent on the cells' microenvironment and
cell–cell interactions. Since the pancreas is a highly vascularized organ, the crosstalk …

Hemorrhage and pleural effusion are prominent pathological features of systemic anthrax
infection. We examined the effect of anthrax lethal toxin (LT), a major virulence factor of …

VE-cadherin is an endothelial-specific cadherin that plays a central role in vascular barrier
function and angiogenesis. The cytoplasmic domain of VE-cadherin is linked to the …

Enabled/vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (Ena/VASP) proteins are key actin
regulators that localize at regions of dynamic actin remodeling, including cellular protrusions …

Despite the critical importance of transcription factors in mediating gene regulation, there
exists no general, genome-wide tool that uses transcription factors to induce or silence a …
