Ve-ptp modulates vascular integrity by promoting adherens junction maturation.

Ve-ptp modulates vascular integrity by promoting adherens junction maturation.

BACKGROUND: Endothelial cell junctions control blood vessel permeability. Altered permeability can be associated with vascular fragility that leads to vessel weakness and haemorrhage formation. In vivo studies on the function of genes involved in the maintenance of vascular integrity are essential t...
