Funded Activity Summary

Molecular signals guiding dynamic cell movement during blood vessel growth. This project aims to discover how cells interact within the developing blood vessel sprout. Blood vessels form complex branched networks composed of arteries, capillaries and veins that supply oxygen and nutrients to all body tissues. The development and maintenance of blood vessels depends on the coordination of movement and adhesion between individual endothelial cells in the vessel wall, but the signals controlling these actions are unknown. This project aims to reveal how the vascular tree forms during development, which is expected to improve the engineering of functional, vascularised organs in the biotech sector.
