F-actin-rich contractile endothelial pores prevent vascular leakage during leukocyte diapedesis through local RhoA signalling

Endothelial cells can support leukocyte extravasation without causing vascular leakage, but the exact mechanism underlying this process has not been fully elucidated. Here the authors show that it is regulated through actomyosin-based endothelial pore confinement, which requires local endothelial Rh...
