Wnt/beta-catenin signaling regulates Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) receptors in central nervous system endothelial cells

Yanshu Wang, Ningyu Zhu, Amir Rattner…·Jeremy Nathans

This study shows that Wnt/beta-catenin signaling modulates VEGF receptor levels in CNS endothelial cells, thereby regulating VEGF signaling.

Vascular endothelial-specific loss of TGF-beta signaling as a model for choroidal neovascularization and central nervous system vascular inflammation

Yanshu Wang, Amir Rattner, Zhongming Li…·Jeremy Nathans

This study shows that loss of TGF-beta signaling in vascular endothelial cells in mice causes choroidal neovascularization and CNS vascular inflammation, with significant immune cell infiltration and pro-inflammatory changes.
