MHI Seminar Series presents Sharon Gerecht, Ph.D., Paul M. Gross Distinguished Professor of Biomedical Engineering; Associate Dean for Research and Infrastructure, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University, Durham, NC
Summary of Seminar: Vascular differentiation and morphogenesis, and eventual homeostasis, occur in a complex and dynamic milieu. Two aspects of this microenvironment seem critical for blood vessel growth and stabilization: (i) the extracellular matrix, which provides critical support for vascular cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, and morphogenesis, and (ii) low oxygen concentrations (hypoxia), which is a … Read more
