Angiogenesis, or the formation of new blood vessels from the preexisting vasculature, is a
key component in numerous physiologic and pathologic responses and has broad impact in …

The endothelium functions as a semipermeable barrier regulating tissue fluid homeostasis
and transmigration of leukocytes and providing essential nutrients across the vessel wall …

Rationale: p120-catenin (p120) is an armadillo family protein that binds to the cytoplasmic
domain of classical cadherins and prevents cadherin endocytosis. The role of p120 in …

The cadherin family of cell adhesion molecules mediates adhesive interactions that are
required for the formation and maintenance of tissues. Previously, we demonstrated that N …

Endothelial cells express two different classical cadherins, vascular endothelial (VE)
cadherin and neural (N) cadherin, having distinct functions in the vascular system. VE …

L'intégrité de l'endothelium vasculaire est maintenue par des structures d'adhérence
jonctionelle, notamment les jonctions adhérentes, dont la VE-cadhérine est le constituant …

Microvascular endothelial cells display a large degree of heterogeneity in function
depending on their location in the vascular tree. The existence of organ-specific …

Organogenesis of epithelial organs requires interaction between epithelial and
mesenchymal tissues. During pancreas development, mesenchyme-derived structures …
