Tissue mechanics provide an important context for tissue growth, maintenance and function.
On the level of organs, external mechanical forces largely influence the control of tissue …

The multicellular nature of metazoans means that all cellular processes need to be tuned by
adhesive interactions between cells and their local microenvironment. The spatial …

The cross-talk between receptor tyrosine kinases and integrin receptors are known to be
crucial for a number of cellular functions. On endothelial cells, an interaction between …

All cellular processes are determined by adhesive interactions between cells and their local
microenvironment. Integrins, which constitute one class of cell-adhesion receptor, are …

Neurovascular remodeling has been recently recognized as a promising target for
neurologic therapies. Hopes have emerged that, by stimulating vessel growth, it may be …

Hantaviruses cause two vascular permeability-based diseases and primarily infect
endothelial cells which form the primary fluid barrier of the vasculature. Since hantavirus …

The signals that prune the exuberant vascular growth of tissue repair are still ill defined. We
demonstrate that activation of CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) mediates the regression …

Human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2) is an antimicrobial peptide which is released upon
microbial invasion and contributes to mucosal and epithelial defense modulating both innate …

A sequence of events in vascular and stromal cells maintained in a highly coordinated
manner regulates angiogenesis and tissue remodeling. These processes are mediated by …

A thyroid hormone receptor on integrin αvβ3 that mediates cell surface-initiated nongenomic
actions of thyroid hormone on tumor cell proliferation and on angiogenesis has been …
