Journal ArticleDOI
Ephrin-B2 controls VEGF-induced angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis
Yingdi Wang,Masanori Nakayama,Mara E. Pitulescu,Tim S. Schmidt,Magdalena L. Bochenek,Magdalena L. Bochenek,Akira Sakakibara,Susanne Adams,Susanne Adams,Alice Davy,Urban Deutsch,Urs Lüthi,Alcide Barberis,Laura E. Benjamin,Taija Makinen,Catherine D. Nobes,Ralf H. Adams,Ralf H. Adams +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown with genetic experiments in mouse and zebrafish that ephrin-B2, a transmembrane ligand for Eph receptor tyrosine kinases, promotes sprouting behaviour and motility in the angiogenic endothelium, and shows that full VEGFR3 signalling is coupled to receptor internalization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rho‐kinase/ROCK: A key regulator of the cytoskeleton and cell polarity
TL;DR: This review focuses on the structure, function, and modes of activation and action of Rho‐kinase, which is involved in a wide range of diseases such as vasospasm, pulmonary hypertension, nerve injury, and glaucoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
EphB Signaling Directs Peripheral Nerve Regeneration through Sox2-Dependent Schwann Cell Sorting
Simona Parrinello,Ilaria Napoli,Sara Ribeiro,Patrick Wingfield Digby,Marina Fedorova,David Parkinson,Robin D. S. Doddrell,Masanori Nakayama,Ralf H. Adams,Alison C. Lloyd +9 more
TL;DR: The results identify a link between Ephs and Sox proteins, providing a mechanism by which progenitor cells can translate environmental cues to orchestrate the formation of new tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial regulation of VEGF receptor endocytosis in angiogenesis.
Masanori Nakayama,Akiko Nakayama,Max van Lessen,Hiroyuki Yamamoto,Sarah Hoffmann,Hannes C.A. Drexler,Norimichi Itoh,Tomonori Hirose,Georg Breier,Dietmar Vestweber,Jonathan A. Cooper,Shigeo Ohno,Kozo Kaibuchi,Ralf H. Adams +13 more
TL;DR: This work uncovers how vessel growth is dynamically controlled by local VEGF receptor endocytosis and the activity of cell polarity proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrin β1 controls VE-cadherin localization and blood vessel stability
Hiroyuki Yamamoto,Manuel Ehling,Katsuhiro Kato,Kenichi Kanai,Max van Lessen,Maike Frye,Dagmar Zeuschner,Masanori Nakayama,Dietmar Vestweber,Ralf H. Adams +9 more
TL;DR: It is established that integrin β1 has critical functions in the growing and maturing vasculature, and is required for the formation of stable, non-leaky blood vessels.
