Morphogenesis of vascular and neuronal networks and the relationships between their remodeling processes

Vascular and neuronal networks represent important examples of body structures created by processes of branching morphogenesis. Migration to an appropriate target in both axons and blood vessels are mediated by chemo-repulsive and attractive signals and the proximity of nerves and blood vessels sugg...

description Vascular and neuronal networks represent important examples of body structures created by processes of branching morphogenesis. Migration to an appropriate target in both axons and blood vessels are mediated by chemo-repulsive and attractive signals and the proximity of nerves and blood vessels suggest that there may be a molecular crosstalk and common cues between nerves and blood vessels. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a key angiogenetic factor, has direct effects on the nervous system in terms of axon outgrowth and survival. Conversely, nerve growth factor (NGF), a well-known neurotropic molecule, exhibits angiogenic properties. Available data on the morphogenesis of vascular and neuronal networks and on the relationships between their remodeling processes will be the focus of the present study.
