Wnt/beta-catenin signaling regulates Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) receptors in central nervous system endothelial cells

Kavli Affiliate: Jeremy Nathans | Authors: Jeremy Nathans, Yanshu Wang, Ningyu Zhu, Amir Rattner and Philip M Smallwood | Summary: In CNS endothelial cells (ECs), VEGF signaling promotes vascular permeability, and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling reduces vascular permeability by controlling the gene expression program for the blood-brain barrier. Here we show, using genetic mosaics, that, in mouse […]
