Ocular diseases characterized by retinal neovascularization are among the principal causes of visual loss worldwide. In an effort to understand the components of the retinal angiogenesis and its regulation by various molecules, I developed a procedure to isolate retinal microvascular endothelial cells (EC) and pericytes from ...

Hair follicle formation in fetal development is characterized morphologically by invagination and elongation into the dermis of an epidermal cell collective in association with a follicle-specific population of mesenchymal cells. The process is thought to involve cell proliferation and migration, mediated by molecules such ...
