Nerve cell signposts in the blood vessel roadmap.
The vasculature and the nervous system both form extensively branched networks in the vertebrate body, incorporate into very different tissue environments, and establish connections over long distances. Although there are many obvious morphological and functional differences between blood vessels and nerve fibers, one should not ignore striking conceptual similarities in the assembly of these n...
متن کاملRepeatability of Blood Vessel Measurements in the Optic Nerve Head
INTRODUCTION Glaucoma is the second leading cause of vision loss in the world. Characterized by progressive and irreversible vision loss, it affects more than 60 million people world-wide [1]. The pathogenesis of this disease is not fully understood however glaucoma has been positively correlated with elevated pressure inside the eye. Patients with glaucoma show significant deformations in the ...
متن کاملSignposts along the NIH roadmap for reengineering clinical research: lessons from the Clinical Research Networks initiative.
BACKGROUND The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Roadmap for Medical Research aims to increase the efficiency and speed of clinical research. We report results and lessons learned from a key component of the Roadmap, the Clinical Research Networks initiative. METHODS Twelve diverse, experienced, large, clinical research networks were funded for 3 years to develop strategies for integrating,...
متن کاملCell–cell signaling in blood vessel development and function
The blood vasculature is an organ pervading all other organs (almost). During vascular development, cell-cell signaling by extracellular ligands and cell surface receptors ensure that new vessels sprout into non-vascularized regions and simultaneously acquire organ-specific specializations and adaptations that match the local physiological needs. The vessels thereby specialize in their permeabi...
متن کاملCoordinating cell behaviour during blood vessel formation.
The correct development of blood vessels is crucial for all aspects of tissue growth and physiology in vertebrates. The formation of an elaborate hierarchically branched network of endothelial tubes, through either angiogenesis or vasculogenesis, relies on a series of coordinated morphogenic events, but how individual endothelial cells adopt specific phenotypes and how they coordinate their beh...
