Tissue Plasminogen Activator and Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 Contribute to Sonic Hedgehog-Induced In Vitro Cerebral Angiogenesis
The molecular mechanisms underlying cerebral angiogenesis have not been fully investigated. Using primary mouse brain endothelial cells (MBECs) and a capillary-like tube formation assay, we investigated whether the sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway is coupled with the plasminogen/plasmin system...
