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 long term outcome of stent implantation is affected by a process called in stent
restenosis (ISR). Multiple contributory factors have been identified, but clear understanding …

Neutrophil interaction with activated endothelial cells (EC) is required for transmigration. We
examined consequences of this interaction on NETosis. Co-culture of activated EC with …

Adipose tissue secretes protein factors that have systemic actions on cardiovascular tissues.
Previous studies have shown that ablation of the adipocyte-secreted protein adiponectin …

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 …

Adiponectin, an adipocyte‐derived protein abundant in the circulation, is thought to be
protective against atherosclerosis. However, it is not fully understood how the association of …

Angiogenesis, the process through which new blood vessels arise from preexisting ones, is
regulated by several “classic” factors, among which the most studied are vascular …

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

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 …

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 …
