Pilot projects are research projects carried out by doctoral researchers and postdocs from working groups in the Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre. In interdisciplinary teams, they can plan and ...

With the identification of specific growth factors for lymphatic endothelial cells and markers that distinguish blood and lymphatic vessels, as well as the development of invivo imaging ...

Our previous study suggested the importance of cell-specific CD47 blockade in limiting atherosclerosis. Further, our experiments revealed CD47 as a dominant TSP1 receptor in lymphatic endothelial ...

The endothelium makes up the inner lining of blood and lymphatic vessels. Endothelial cells carry out several functions that are vital to maintaining a healthy body. When the endothelium is not ...

Whether vascular endothelial cells are able to use ketone bodies was not known, however, it was shown before that lymphatic endothelial cells can break down ketone bodies and that this stimulates ...

The mature lymphatic vasculature forms a hierarchical network in which lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) are joined by functionally specialized cell-cell junctions to maintain the integrity of ...

To form new blood vessels (angiogenesis), endothelial cells (ECs) must be activated and acquire highly migratory and proliferative phenotypes. However, the molecular mechanisms that govern these ...

Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) lining lymphatic vessels develop specialized cell-cell junctions that are crucial for the maintenance of vessel integrity and proper lymphatic vascular functions.
