Developmental biology of the vascular smooth muscle cell: building a multilayered vessel wall.

abstract：:The novel endothelial cell tyrosine kinase receptors, Tie1 and Tie2, are essential for vascular development and remodeling in the embryo but little is known regarding the regulation of their expression and their role in the maintenance and repair of the adult vascular system. We examined the expression of Tie1 and Tie...
