Endothelial cells express two classical cadherins, VE-cadherin and N-cadherin. VE-
cadherin is absolutely required for vascular morphogenesis, but N-cadherin is thought to …

Endothelial cells express two classic cadherins, VE-cadherin and N-cadherin. The
importance of VE-cadherin in vascular development is well known; however, the function of …

Vascular endothelial–cadherin (VE–cadherin) is exclusively expressed in endothelial cells
and is strictly located at cell-to-cell junctions. As the other members of the cadherin family …

Blood and lymphatic vessels make up the vascular system of vertebrates and are lined by
specialized endothelial cells. The connections between endothelial cells are formed by …

We investigated the role of vascular endothelial (VE)–cadherin in blood vessel
morphogenesis and established a temporal correlation linking the failure in vessel …

Endothelial cells (ECs) express 2 members of the cadherin family, VE and N-cadherin.
Although VE-cadherin induces EC homotypic adhesion, N-cadherin function in ECs remains …

Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) is expressed on vascular endothelial cells,
which are involved in developmental vessel formation. However, it remains elusive how VE …

An early step in the formation of the extraembryonic and intraembryonic vasculature is
endothelial cell differentiation and organization in blood islands and vascular structures …

Background VE-cadherin is an endothelial specific, transmembrane protein, that clusters at
adherens junctions where it promotes homotypic cell-cell adhesion. VE-cadherin null …

We review here our work on the molecular and functional organization of endothelial cell-to-
cell junctions. The first part of the review is dedicated to VE-cadherin, characterized by our …
