Deskripsi

The formation of new blood vessels requires both polarized cell migration and coordinated control of endothelial cell contacts. Here, Cao and colleagues describe at the sub-cellular level the cytoskeletal and cell junction dynamics regulating these processes upon VEGF-induced cell elongation.
