Apoptosis of Endothelial Cells Contributes to Brain Vessel Pruning of Zebrafish During Development

During development, immature blood vessel networks remodel to form a simplified and efficient vasculature to meet the demand for oxygen and nutrients, and this remodeling process is mainly achieved via the pruning of existing vessels. It has already known that the migration of vascular endothelial c...
