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 کاملThe Regulation of Blood Vessel Growth
The vascular system forms through a combination of vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. In vasculogenesis, vessels form de novo via the assembly of endotheial precursors called angioblasts, whereas in angiogenesis new vessels arise by migration and proliferation of endothelial cells from preexisting vessels. Although the two processes are distinct in some respects, recent evidence suggests that the...
متن کاملBlood Vessel Branching: Beyond the Standard Calculus Problem
As one who is very thankful to have survived a heart attack in 1996, I have more than a passing interest in the vascular system. Perhaps this is due to the following statement by my cardiologist: “Your left anterior descending coronary artery is 99.9% blocked.” While that might have been an exaggeration, the sight of my artery narrowing to a thread on the angiogram was certainly a cause for con...
متن کاملCenterline Computation and Geometric Analysis of Branching Tubular Surfaces with Application to Blood Vessel Modeling
In this work we present a robust and accurate method for the computation of centerlines inside branching tubular objects starting from a piecewise linear representation of their boundary. The algorithm is based on solving the Eikonal equation on the Voronoi diagram embedded into the object, with wavefront speed inversely proportional to Voronoi ball radius values. As a result, provably accurate...
متن کاملRegulation of lymphatic-blood vessel separation by endothelial Rac1.
Sprouting angiogenesis and lymphatic-blood vessel segregation both involve the migration of endothelial cells, but the precise migratory molecules that govern the decision of blood vascular endothelial cells to segregate into lymphatic vasculature are unknown. Here, we deleted endothelial Rac1 in mice (Tie1-Cre(+);Rac1(fl/fl)) and revealed, unexpectedly, that whereas blood vessel morphology app...
