Abstract excerpt
Confluent endothelial cells in culture are generally regarded as a model of resting endothelium in blood vessels (i.e., forming junctions at points of cell-cell contact, losing ability to proliferate in response to growth factors, and remaining stationary). However, incompatibility between junctional integrity and endothelial cell motility remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to determine whether...
