Endothelial-pericyte interactions regulate angiogenesis via VEGFR2 signaling during retinal development and disease

Ying-Yu Lin, Emily C. Warren, Bria L. Macklin, Lucas Ramirez, Sharon Gerecht

This study shows that endothelial-pericyte interactions regulate angiogenesis through VEGFR2 signaling, and inhibiting VEGFR2 improves vascular stability in retinal diseases.
