Regulation of Angiogenic Functions by Angiopoietins through Calcium-Dependent Signaling Pathways

Angiopoietins are vascular factors essential for blood vessel assembly and correct organization and maturation. This study describes a novel calcium-dependent machinery activated through Angiopoietin-1/2-Tie receptor system in HUVECs monolayer. Both cytokines were found to elicit intracellular calci...
