Endothelial tip-cell position, filopodia formation and biomechanics require BMPR2 expression and signaling

Abstract Blood vessel formation relies on biochemical and mechanical signals, particularly during sprouting angiogenesis when endothelial tip cells (TCs) guide sprouting through filopodia formation. The contribution of BMP receptors in defining tip-cell characteristics is poorly understood. Our stud...
