|
|
| The authors showed that inhibition of WNK1 promoted TGF-β–dependent degradation of the tyrosine kinase receptor AXL, which was involved in TGF-β–mediated cell migration and angiogenesis. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported distinct crosstalk between the insulin receptor and endoglin/activin receptor-like kinase 1, an endothelial cell-specific TGF-β receptor complex essential for angiogenesis. [Journal of Biological Chemistry] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that either the endothelium-specific deletion of Mtor to inhibit both mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complexes, or depletion of Raptor or Rictor to disrupt mTORC1 or mTORC2, caused impaired endothelial-dependent vasodilatation. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists experimentally investigated the SARS-CoV-2 infection in cultured human endothelial cells (ECs), and performed a comparative analysis for post-infection molecular events using early passage and replicative senescent ECs. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators elucidated the effect of combination therapy on gene and protein expression of HUVECs. [Oncology Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated whether Astragalus polysaccharide promoted angiogenesis or vascularization via the TLR4 signaling pathway in a co-culture of outgrowth endothelial cells and primary human osteoblasts. [Journal of Food Biochemistry] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors review the pathogenesis and research progress of vascular calcification (VC), expound the role of endothelial cells in VC, and focus on the regulatory factors underlying endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, with a view to providing new concepts for VC prevention and treatment.

| Lehigh University’s Aurelia Honerkamp-Smith, Assistant Professor of Physics, and Damien Thévenin, Associate Professor of Chemistry, have been awarded a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to test whether flow transport of a membrane protein triggers intracellular signaling in endothelial cells.
