Collecting lymphatic vessel permeability to albumin and its modification by natriuretic peptides
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Microvascular exchange is the process whereby the blood provides the tissues of the body nutrients for cellular metabolism, macromolecules essential for fighting infection, and waste removal. However, these constituents ... -
Molecular control of endothelial tube formation from single and aggregated cells by lumen signalling complexes that contain MT1-MMP and CDC42 in 3D collagen matrices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The first blood vessels to form in the embryo are generated by vasculogenesis. New insight into vasculogenesis in mammals is emerging from studies of ... -
