Abstract excerpt
Gradients of secreted signaling proteins guide growing blood vessels during both normal and pathological angiogenesis. However, the mechanisms by which endothelial cells integrate and respond to graded distributions of chemotactic factors are still poorly understood. We have in this study investigated endothelial cell migration in response to hill-shaped gradients of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA)...
