Common mechanisms of nerve and blood vessel wiring

Article Abstract:

The common morphogenetic signals and mechanisms are highlighted along with the way the navigational mechanisms for both systems are intricately interwined. The task of leading the axon is performed by the growth cone, a highly motile, sensory structure at the axon tip, discovered over a century ago by Ramony Cajal.

Genetic spotlight on a blood defect

Article Abstract:

Blood vessels are formed when founder endothelial cells give rise to simple network of blood vessels, a 'vascular plexus' that is subsequently remodelled into a more mature network of large and small vessels. Blood vessels are special endothelial cells which are lined up and surrounded by smooth muscle cells.
