The roles of collagens XV and XVIII in vessel formation, the function of recombinant human full-length type XV collagen and the roles of collagen XV and laminin α4 in peripheral nerve development and function

Abstract Transgenic mice were used to evaluate the roles of collagens XV and XVIII in retinal vessel development and to examine the roles of collagen XV and laminin α4 in peripheral nerve development and function. Also, in vitro methods were used to study the functions of recombinant, full-lengt...
