Cadherin family includes lists of transmembrane glycoproteins which mediate calcium-
dependent cell-cell adhesion. Cadherin-mediated adhesion regulates cell growth and …

Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin is a strictly endothelial specific adhesion molecule
located at junctions between endothelial cells. In analogy of the role of E-cadherin as major …

Characterization of the cardiac cellulome, the network of cells that form the heart, is essential
for understanding cardiac development and normal organ function and for formulating …

Tight junctions are the most apical components of endothelial and epithelial intercellular
cleft. In the endothelium these structures play an important role in the control of paracellular …

Skeletal muscle fibres form by fusion of mesoderm progenitors called myoblasts. After birth,
muscle fibres do not increase in number but continue to grow in size because of fusion of …

Both the innate and adaptive immune responses are dependent on the migration of
leukocytes across endothelial cells. The process of diapedesis, in which the leukocyte …

Interendothelial junctions play an important role in the regulation of endothelial functions,
such as vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, and vascular permeability. In this paper we show …

The adhesive interactions of endothelial cells with each other and the adhesion receptors
that mediate these interactions are probably of fundamental importance to the process of …

In the present paper, we characterize an antibody, mAb BV13, directed to mouse vascular
endothelial (VE)-cadherin, a major adhesive protein of interendothelial adherens junctions …

Vascular endothelial (VE)–protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) associates with VE-cadherin,
thereby supporting its adhesive activity and endothelial junction integrity. VE-PTP also …
