Angiogenesis - Editor's Highlights - August 2020

Profs. Arjan Griffioen and Joyce Bischoff provide their Editor-in-Chief highlights from this issue; where the article is not already Open Access, it has been made free to access via SharedIt Links.

Lymphatic MAFB regulates vascular patterning during developmental and pathological lymphangiogenesis (this opens in a new tab)

Matrix deformations around angiogenic sprouts correlate to sprout dynamics and suggest pulling activity (this opens in a new tab)

The issue can be found in full on SpringerLink (this opens in a new tab).

Cover Art: Endothelial cells at the tip of an angiogenic sprout apply pulling forces to a collagen matrix while invading it. The image shows collagen deformations induced be these forces, as quantified by means of displacement microscopy.
