Blood vessels
- Blood vessel formation and function in bone
Summary: This Review discusses the roles of blood vessels in controlling developmental and regenerative bone formation and providing niche microenvironments for various cell types.
- Endothelial cell-derived semaphorin 3A inhibits filopodia formation by blood vascular tip cells
Summary: Endothelial cells produce Sema3A, a known axon repellent, that exerts repelling functions on VEGF-A-induced tip cell filopodia during angiogenesis in mice.
- α5 and αv integrins cooperate to regulate vascular smooth muscle and neural crest functions in vivo
Summary: α5 and αv integrins on neural-crest-derived vascular smooth muscle cells cooperate to control pharyngeal arch remodeling and are essential for heart and outflow tract septation.
