Endothelial cell migration is essential to angiogenesis. This motile process is directionally
regulated by chemotactic, haptotactic, and mechanotactic stimuli and further involves …

Cell migration plays a central role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes
during our whole life. Cellular movement is a complex, tightly regulated multistep process …

The migration of endothelial cells (ECs) plays an important role in vascular remodeling and
regeneration. EC migration can be regulated by different mechanisms such as chemotaxis …

The migration of arterial vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is thought to play a central
role in atherogenesis and restenosis. The migration of several other cell types, including …

The vascular system is a hierarchically organized network of blood vessels that play crucial
roles in embryogenesis, homeostasis and disease. Blood vessels are built by endothelial …

Leucocytes use sophisticated mechanisms to cross the endothelium lining the vasculature.
This is initiated by chemokine-and adhesion molecule-induced intracellular signalling that …

Under a variety of (patho) physiological conditions, leukocytes will leave the bloodstream by
crossing the endothelial monolayer that lines the vessels and migrate into the underlying …

The vascular endothelium is a highly specialized barrier that controls passage of fluids and
migration of cells from the lumen into the vessel wall. Endothelial cells assist leukocytes to …

Systemic and pulmonary circulations constitute a complex organ that serves multiple
important biological functions. Consequently, any pathological processing affecting the …

Vascular networks are formed and maintained through a multitude of angiogenic processes,
such as sprouting, anastomosis and pruning. Only recently has it become possible to study …
