(PhysOrg.com) -- University of Pennsylvania bioengineers have demonstrated that the cells that line blood vessels respond to mechanical forces -- the microscopic tugging and pulling on cellular ...

Third, all of these defects are characterized by malformed cell-cell junctions in the endothelial cells that line these organs. And finally, HEG actually physically interacts with CCM proteins.

Adherens junctions, the structures that allow cohesion between cells in a tissue, appear to be modulated by endothelial cell-to-cell tugging forces.

The findings are published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in an article titled, “A 3D biomimetic model of lymphatics reveals cell–cell junction tightening and lymphedema ...

Drug delivery approach uses magnetic forces to selectively and temporarily open gaps in endothelial barriers, favoring passage of large molecules. genprowebdirectory ...

Some Aβ can pass through the blood-brain barrier via active transport across endothelial cells (see Deane et al., 2003; Deane et al., 2004). On the other hand, it is still unclear whether Aβ can also ...
