Junction-based lamellipodia drive endothelial cell rearrangements in vivo via a VE-cadherin-F-actin based oscillatory cell-cell interaction

During the formation of the zebrafish dorsal longitudinal anastomotic vessel, blood vessels connect in a process called anastomosis. Using live imaging, the authors here show that endothelial cell movements during blood vessel anastomosis are associated with oscillating lamellipodia-like structures,...
