Mechanisms to promote vascular normalisation and barrier integrity

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Growth and function of blood vessels is dependent on the coordination of movement and adhesion between individual cells in the vessel wall, however the signals controlling these actions remain unknown. This project will unravel the precise mechanisms by which cells interact during vessel growth induced by disease. A greater understanding of these cellular processes will allow for the development of novel targeted therapies for diseases including cancer and diabetes.
