Biomaterials have had an increasingly important role in recent decades, in biomedical
device design and the development of tissue engineering solutions for cell delivery, drug …

Cadherin family includes lists of transmembrane glycoproteins which mediate calcium-
dependent cell-cell adhesion. Cadherin-mediated adhesion regulates cell growth and …

Endothelial cell migration is essential to angiogenesis. This motile process is directionally
regulated by chemotactic, haptotactic, and mechanotactic stimuli and further involves …

The family of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are known for their regulation of
vascularization. In the brain, VEGFs are important regulators of angiogenesis …

Integrin binding to bioengineered hydrogel scaffolds is essential for tissue regrowth and
regeneration, yet not all integrin binding can lead to tissue repair. Here, we show that …

Filopodia,“the fingers that do the walking,” have been identified on endothelial cells at the tip
of sprouting vessels for half a century, but the key role of the tip cell in vessel branching has …

The up‐regulation and nuclear relocation of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT)
regulator Twist1 have been implicated in the tumor invasion and metastasis of human …

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of visual impairment in the working-
age population. DR is a progressive eye disease caused by long-term accumulation of …

Portal hypertension is caused by an increased intrahepatic resistance, a major
consequence of cirrhosis. Endothelial dysfunction in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells …

Vascularization plays a crucial role in bone formation and regeneration process.
Development of a functional vasculature to improve survival and integration of tissue …
