Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin is a strictly endothelial specific adhesion molecule
located at junctions between endothelial cells. In analogy of the role of E-cadherin as major …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated at sites of inflammation and injury, and at low
levels, ROS can function as signaling molecules participating as signaling intermediates in …

Endothelial cells lining the vessel wall are connected by adherens, tight and gap junctions.
These junctional complexes are related to those found at epithelial junctions but with …

Cadherins play an important role in specific cell-cell adhesion events. Their expression
appears to be tightly regulated during development and each tissue or cell type shows a …

BACKGROUND Repeated implantation failure (RIF) is a major problem encountered in IVF.
We have previously reported that RIF-IVF patients have a different endometrial gene …

Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin is an adhesive transmembrane protein specifically
expressed at interendothelial junctions. Its extracellular domain exhibits Ca2+-dependent …

Human endometrium regenerates on a cyclic basis from candidate stem/progenitors whose
genetic programs are yet to be determined. A subpopulation of endometrial stromal cells …

The central nervous system (CNS) is divided into diverse embryological and functional
compartments. The early embryonic CNS consists of a series of transverse subdivisions …

Data collected during the past years indicate that AJ-and more specifically VE-cadherin play
an important role in endothelial cell biology. VE-cadherin may transfer information …

Vascular endothelial–cadherin (VE–cadherin) is exclusively expressed in endothelial cells
and is strictly located at cell-to-cell junctions. As the other members of the cadherin family …
