What guides early embryonic blood vessel formation?
Survival of vertebrate embryos depends on their ability to assemble a correctly patterned, integrated network of blood vessels to supply oxygen and nutrients to developing tissues. The arrangement of larger caliber intraembryonic vessels, specification of arterial-venous identity, and proper placement of major branch points and arterial-venous connections are all precisely determined. A number ...
متن کاملAnnexin A3 Regulates Early Blood Vessel Formation
Annexins are a large family of calcium binding proteins that associate with cell membrane phospholipids and are involved in various cellular processes including endocytosis, exocytosis and membrane-cytoskeletal organization. Despite studies on numerous Annexin proteins, the function of Annexin A3 (Anxa3) is largely unknown. Our studies identify Anxa3 as a unique marker of the endothelial and my...

but absence of information about the ligand for either of these receptors has hindered our understanding of Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School Boston, Massachusetts 02115 their contribution to vascular development. Three papers in this issue reveal new information Medical students learning the anatomy of the human about the potential role of the TIE2 receptor and its ligand and rais...
متن کاملBlood vessel patterning at the embryonic midline.
The reproducible pattern of blood vessels formed in vertebrate embryos has been described extensively, but only recently have we obtained the genetic and molecular tools to address the mechanisms underlying these processes. This review describes our current knowledge regarding vascular patterning around the vertebrate midline and presents data derived from frogs, zebrafish, avians, and mice. Th...
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...
