Abstract excerpt
Reduced EphB4 expression is observed during vein graft adaptation and is associated with increased venous wall thickening. These findings suggest that EphB4 may mediate normal adult venous endothelial cell (EC) function and vein graft adaptation. We therefore tested the functional significance of EphB4 using EC with genetically reduced EphB4 signaling. EC were isolated from EphB4(+/+) and EphB4(+/-) mice. In...
