Myoendothelial Junctions of Mature Coronary Vessels Express Notch Signaling Proteins
RationaleMyoendothelial junctions (MEJs) within the fenestrae of the internal elastic lamina (IEL) are critical sites that allow for endothelial cell (EC) - vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) contact and communication. Vascular Notch signaling is a critical determinant of normal vasculogenesis and r...
