The monolayer of endothelial cells lining the vessel wall forms a semipermeable barrier (in
all tissue except the relatively impermeable blood–brain and inner retinal barriers) that …

The permanent cellular constituents of the heart include cardiac fibroblasts, myocytes,
endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells. Previous studies have demonstrated …

Acrp30/adiponectin is reduced in the serum of obese and diabetic individuals, and the
genetic locus of adiponectin is linked to the metabolic syndrome. Recombinant adiponectin …

Endothelial cells lining the vessel wall are connected by adherens, tight and gap junctions.
These junctional complexes are related to those found at epithelial junctions but with …

The Indian subcontinent contains 20 well-characterized goat breeds, which vary in their
genetic potential for the production of milk, meat, and fibre; disease resistance; heat …

T-cadherin delineates endothelial, myoepithelial, and ductal epithelial cells in the normal
mouse mammary gland, and becomes progressively restricted to the vasculature during …

Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and vascular endothelial dysfunction have been
implicated in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to …

We review the evidence suggesting the involvement of Cadherin 13 (CDH13, T‐cadherin, H‐
cadherin) in various cancers. CDH13 is an atypical member of the cadherin family, devoid of …

Cell to cell interaction is one of the key processes effecting angiogenesis and endothelial
cell function. Wnt signalling is mediated through cell–cell interaction and is involved in many …

Adherens junctions and more specifically cadherins play an important role in endothelial cell
integrity and growth and, in general, in vascular morphogenesis. Besides their adhesive …
