Pericyte-expressed Tie2 controls angiogenesis and vessel maturation

The angiopoietins regulate vascular maturation, angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis via their Tie receptors that were long believed to be endothelium-specific. Here the authors show that angiopoietins activate and control pericyte function through pericyte-expressed Tie2 triggering of Calpain, Akt an...
