| The authors showed that long, perfusable tubes only developed if hydrogel adhesiveness and degradability were fine-tuned to support the initial collective invasion of endothelial cells and, at the same time, allowed for matrix remodeling to permit the opening of lumens. [Nature Communications] |

|
| Scientists showed that platelets expressing C5aR1 exert an inhibitory effect on endothelial cell functions such as migration and 2D and 3D tube formation. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported that SRC homology 2-containing Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (SHP2 was an essential promoter of endothelial cell survival and growth in the remodeling tumor vasculature. [EMBO Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed F4L5.13, a tetravalent antibody designed to induce FZD4 and LRP5 proximity in such a way as to trigger βcatenin signaling. Treatment of cultured endothelial cells with F4L5.13 rescued permeability induced by VEGF in part by promoting surface expression of junction proteins. [EMBO Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors analyzed the miR-126/CXCL12 axis and compared impacts of both miR-126-3p and miR-126-5p strands effects in CXCL12-induced angiogenesis. [Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Investigators explored the mechanisms through which chondrocytes regulated endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis in osteoarthritis. [Bone] |
|
|
|
| A downregulation of SNHG15 was observed in the ischemic hind limb of diabetic mice and high glucose-treated HUVECs. [Laboratory Investigation] |
|
|
|
| Atomic force microscopy pulling was used to apply force to glypican-1 and PECAM-1 on the surface of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and nitric oxide was measured using a fluorescent reporter dye. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers explored the association between sitting patterns and microRNAs isolated from endothelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists utilized a β3-endonexin mutant carrying a defective nuclear localization sequence to disrupt its nuclear localization and evaluated its ability to promote HUVEC proliferation and formation of tube-like vascular structures. [Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers used targeted next-generation sequencing or digital droplet polymerase chain reaction to screen for somatic PIK3CA mutations on DNA extracted from resected lesional tissue or lymphatic endothelial cells isolated from lesions. [Orphanet Journal of Rare Disease] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss the contributions of inflammation and infection to venous thromboembolism. [Circulation Research] |

|
| The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded Lydia Kavraki, PhD, of Rice University’s Brown School of Engineering, a U01 grant to develop a new approach to model and analyze protein-ligand interactions in cancer research. The end goal is to create a proteomics toolkit, PROTEAN-CR, focused on the structural analysis of protein-ligand interactions. [Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News] |
