We have investigated different β-1 integrins (CDw49CD29) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) with regard to their roles in modifying the morphological structure of these cells on/in matrigel. The inhibition of matrigel-induced capillary formation by antibodies against subunits of β-...

In addition, overexpression of miRNA-184 in LECs suppresses adhesion and migration and reduces the capacity to form new capillary-like structures in vitro. This demonstrates that miRNA-184 is a negative regulator of the lymphangiogenic process (Grimaldo et al., 2015). In inflammatory-induced ...
Tubedown-1 (tbdn-1) is a mammalian homologue of the N-terminal acetyltransferase subunit NAT1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and copurifies with an acetyltransferase activity. Tbdn-1 expression in endothelial cells becomes downregulated during the formation of capillary-like structures in vitro and is ...
Flimsy refers to what is easily broken because of inferior materials or workmanship: "Flimsy and loosely built structures collapsed like houses of cards under the terrific wrenching and shaking" (Richard L. Humphrey). Brittle refers to inelasticity that makes something especially likely to fracture or...
Capillary endothelial cells can be induced to form capillary-like structures in vitro by plating on fibronectin-coated dishes (Ingber, D. E., and Folkman, J. (1989) J. Cell Biol. 109, 317-330), thereby mimicking angiogenesis. To assess the role of glycoproteins bearing asparagine-linked olig...
It was found that the pattern of capillary tubes formed in a fibrin matrix was altered in response to TGF-beta1 treatment such that the capillary-like structures displayed a bipolarized pattern. In contrast, in untreated control and fibroblast growth factor-2-treated cells, the pattern of ...
Blood vessels are small tube-like structures that transport blood inside your body. How do you know if a blood vessel is an artery, vein, or capillary? Several characteristics can help you distinguish between the three. Location of the blood vessel ...
Our results show that testosterone and dexamethasone are strong inhibitors and all-trans retinoic acid (at-RA) and 9-cis retinoic acid (9-cis RA) are potent stimulators of the formation of capillary-like tubular structures. These effects are mediated by their respective nuclear hormone receptors ...
