In wound repair vimentin mediates the transition of mesenchymal leader cells to a myofibroblast phenotype. [PDF]
Following injury, mesenchymal repair cells are activated to function as leader cells that modulate wound healing. These cells have the potential to differentiate to myofibroblasts, resulting in fibrosis and scarring.

Lymphatic endothelium in health and disease [PDF]
The lymphatic vascular system has an important role in the maintenance of tissue fluid pressure homeostasis, in the mediation of the afferent immune response via recruitment of antigen-presenting cells toward draining lymph nodes, and in the intestinal ...

Localization of laminin to retinal vessels of the rat and mouse using whole mounts [PDF]
Using a whole mount procedure in adult and neonatal mice and adult rats, we have developed an immunohistochemical method for the localization of laminin-like immunoreactivity (LLIR) to the retinal vessels.

Vascular remodeling by intussusceptive angiogenesis [PDF]
Intussusception (growth within itself) is an alternative to the sprouting mode of angiogenesis. The protrusion of opposing microvascular walls into the capillary lumen creates a contact zone between endothelial cells.

Distribution of Precursors in Human Corneal Stromal Cells and Endothelial Cells
Purpose: We identified original tissue-committed precursors with limited self-renewal capacity from human corneal stromal (HCS) cells and human corneal endothelial (HCE) cells, then tried to determine the distribution and proliferative capacity of the precursors. Design: Experimental study.

Gelsolin superfamily proteins: key regulators of cellular functions [PDF]
.: Cytoskeletal rearrangement occurs in a variety of cellular processes and involves a wide spectrum of proteins. Among these, the gelsolin superfamily proteins control actin organization by severing filaments, capping filament ends and nucleating actin ...

Human corneal endothelial cell precursors isolated by sphere-forming assay
PURPOSE. To isolate precursors of human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) in vitro. METHODS. HCECs were subjected to a sphere-forming assay in which spheres floated in serum-free medium containing growth factors. To promote differentiation, the isolated sphere colonies were plated in dishes coated with poly-L-lysine (PLL)/laminin or fetal bovine ...
