Blood vessel patterning at the embryonic midline.
The reproducible pattern of blood vessels formed in vertebrate embryos has been described extensively, but only recently have we obtained the genetic and molecular tools to address the mechanisms underlying these processes. This review describes our current knowledge regarding vascular patterning around the vertebrate midline and presents data derived from frogs, zebrafish, avians, and mice. Th...
متن کاملMotor neurons control blood vessel patterning in the developing spinal cord
Formation of a precise vascular network within the central nervous system is of critical importance to assure delivery of oxygen and nutrients and for accurate functionality of neuronal networks. Vascularization of the spinal cord is a highly stereotypical process. However, the guidance cues controlling blood vessel patterning in this organ remain largely unknown. Here we describe a new neuro-v...
متن کاملRepeatability of Blood Vessel Measurements in the Optic Nerve Head
INTRODUCTION Glaucoma is the second leading cause of vision loss in the world. Characterized by progressive and irreversible vision loss, it affects more than 60 million people world-wide [1]. The pathogenesis of this disease is not fully understood however glaucoma has been positively correlated with elevated pressure inside the eye. Patients with glaucoma show significant deformations in the ...
متن کاملNerve cell signposts in the blood vessel roadmap.
The vasculature and the nervous system both form extensively branched networks in the vertebrate body, incorporate into very different tissue environments, and establish connections over long distances. Although there are many obvious morphological and functional differences between blood vessels and nerve fibers, one should not ignore striking conceptual similarities in the assembly of these n...
متن کاملControl of blood vessel structure: insights from theoretical models.
Blood vessels are capable of continuous structural adaptation in response to changing local conditions and functional requirements. Theoretical modeling approaches have stimulated the development of new concepts in this area and have allowed investigation of the complex relations between adaptive responses to multiple stimuli and resulting functional properties of vascular networks. Early analy...
