endothelial cells

[Journal of Molecular Histology] The authors investigated whether stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 secreted by mesenchymal stem cells contributed to endothelial progenitor cell migration to ischemic sites via CXCR4/Phosphoinositide 3-Kinases/protein kinase B signaling pathway.

[EMBO Journal] Following subcutaneous inoculation, arthritogenic alphavirus particles drained via the lymph and were rapidly captured by MARCO+ lymphatic endothelial cells in the draining lymph node, limiting viral spread to the bloodstream.

[Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics] Researchers examined the role of calcium-channel blocking drugs on mechanics of extravasating cancer cells, choosing two clinically-approved calcium-channel blockers as model antihypertensive drugs to simultaneously target cancer cells and an underlying monolayer of endothelial cells.

[Pediatric Research] Hemangioma endothelial cells were co-cultured with propranolol-treated HMC-1s supernatants, and their proliferation and apoptosis were investigated.

[Nature Communications] The authors developed a method that combines magnetic beads and flow cytometry cell sorting to isolate pericytes from tumors and normal adjacent tissues from patients with non-small cell lung cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma.

[Bone Reports] The authors showed that isolated CD73-EGFP+ MSCs displayed more pronounced stemness and stronger in vitro differentiation capacity into the osteogenic lineage compared to CD73-EGFP−MSCs.
