Effect of vascular cadherin knockdown on zebrafish vasculature during development.

Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cad) is essential for endothelial barrier integrity and vascular sprouting. However, the role of this important protein in cardiovascular development is only recently becoming apparent.To characterize the role of VE-cadherin in cardiovascular development, we analyze...
