Reports from Japan, Spain and the United States advance knowledge in cardiology research
August 14th, 2006
Reports from Japan, Spain and the United States highlight recent research in cardiology. Study 1: Cardiac ischemia causes vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) promoter to mobilize bone marrow cells. According to recent research from Japan, "VE-cadherin is expressed on vascular endothelial cells, which are involved in developmental vessel formation. However, it remains elusive how VE-cadherin-expressing cells function in postnatal neovascularization." "To trace VE-cadherin-expressing cells, we developed mice expressing either green fluorescent protein or LacZ driven by VE-cadherin promoter using Cre-loxP system. Although...
