Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis is essential for normal homeostasis, wound healing, and tumor growth and involves a switch in endothelial cell (EC) phenotype from quiescence to migration, proliferation and network formation, and back to quiescence. The notch signaling pathway is critically involved in cell fate decisions during development, and mice deficient in several notch/notch ligand genes have vascular phenotypes. Here we...
