    O-GlcNAc on NOTCH1 EGF repeats regulates ligand-induced Notch signaling and vascular development in mammals

    Shogo Sawaguchi, Shweta Varshney ... Tetsuya Okajima
    The transfer of O-GlcNAc by EOGT to specific EGF repeats of NOTCH1 promotes DLL4 binding, Notch signaling, and retinal vascular development.

    Absence of TGFβ signaling in retinal microglia induces retinal degeneration and exacerbates choroidal neovascularization

    Wenxin Ma, Sean M Silverman ... Wai T Wong
    TGFβ signaling to retinal microglia is central to the regulation of neuroinflammatory responses relevant to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness in the developed world.

    Dysfunction of Calcyphosine-Like gene impairs retinal angiogenesis through the MYC axis and is associated with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy

    Wenjing Liu, Shujin Li ... Xianjun Zhu
    Genetic analysis and knockout mouse model study identified calcyphosine-like (CAPSL) as a candidate disease gene in familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), offering valuable insights into disease mechanisms.

    Wnt signaling mediates acquisition of blood–brain barrier properties in naïve endothelium derived from human pluripotent stem cells

    Benjamin D Gastfriend, Hideaki Nishihara ... Eric V Shusta
    Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in endothelial progenitors derived from human pluripotent stem cells partially induces the specialized blood–brain barrier phenotype while the same treatment in matured endothelial cells is less efficacious.

    Neurons enhance blood–brain barrier function via upregulating claudin-5 and VE-cadherin expression due to glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor secretion

    Lu Yang, Zijin Lin ... Li Liu
    The established triple co-culture blood-–brain barrier (BBB) model could be used for predicting drugs’ BBB permeability, and co-culture with neurons and astrocytes enhanced brain endothelial cells’ integrity by secreting GDNF, which upregulated claudin-5 and VE-cadherin expression.

    Amino acid transporter SLC38A5 regulates developmental and pathological retinal angiogenesis

    Zhongxiao Wang, Felix Yemanyi ... Jing Chen
    Experimental analysis of SLC38A5 (solute carrier family 38 member 5) in mouse models and cell culture reveals its novel role as a metabolic regulator of retinal angiogenesis by controlling nutrient uptake and homeostasis in blood vessel endothelium.

    Murine endothelial serine palmitoyltransferase 1 (SPTLC1) is required for vascular development and systemic sphingolipid homeostasis

    Andrew Kuo, Antonio Checa ... Timothy Hla
    Endothelial sphingolipid biosynthesis is essential for maintaining vascular development, neovascular proliferation, non-CNS tissue sphingolipid levels, and hepatocyte response to stress.
