Vascular endothelial cells are critical for the development and function of the mammalian circulatory system. We have analyzed the role of the endothelial cell-specific receptor tyrosine kinase TIE in the mouse vasculature. Mouse embryos homozygous for a disrupted Tie allele developed severe edem...
