Stromal Claudin14-heterozygosity, but not deletion, increases tumour blood leakage without affecting tumour growth.
The maintenance of endothelial cell-cell junctions is vital for the control of blood vessel leakage and is known to be important in the growth and maturation of new blood vessels during angiogenesis. Here we have investigated the role of a tight junction molecule, Claudin 14, in tumour blood vessel...
