Endothelial cells on the move: dynamics in vascular morphogenesis and disease
3 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
The vascular system is a hierarchically organized network of blood vessels that play crucial roles in embryogenesis, homeostasis and disease. Blood vessels are built by endothelial cells - the cells lining the interior of blood vessels - through a process named vascular morphogenesis. Endothelial cells react to different biomechanical signals in their environment by adjusting their behavior to: (1) invade,...
