    KIT is dispensable for physiological organ vascularisation in the embryo

    Blood vessels form vast networks in all vertebrate organs to sustain tissue growth, repair and homeostatic metabolism, but they also contribute to a range of diseases with neovascularisation. It is, therefore,...

    Erythro-myeloid progenitors contribute endothelial cells to blood vessels

    The earliest blood vessels in mammalian embryos are formed when endothelial cells differentiate from angioblasts and coalesce into tubular networks. Thereafter, the endothelium is thought to expand solely by p...

    The Mouse Hindbrain: An In Vivo Model to Analyze Developmental Angiogenesis

    Angiogenesis, defined as the sprouting of new blood vessels from preexisting ones, is a biological process of great clinical relevance due to its involvement in disease as well as its therapeutic potential for...

    The embryonic mouse hindbrain as a qualitative and quantitative model for studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms of angiogenesis

    The mouse embryo hindbrain is a robust and adaptable model for studying sprouting angiogenesis. It permits the spatiotemporal analysis of organ vascularization in normal mice and in mouse strains with genetic ...
