The process of angiogenesis has been well documented, but little is known about the biology of lymphatic endothelial cells and the molecular mechanisms controlling lymphangiogenesis. The homeobox gene Prox1 is expressed in a subpopulation of endothelial cells that, after budding from veins, gives ri
## Abstract Transcription factor Etsβ1 is induced in endothelial cells (ECs) by angiogenic factors, and promotes angiogenesis by inducing angiogenesisβrelated genes such as MMPs and integrin Ξ²3. Here, we examined the effect of Etsβ1 on apoptosis in ECs. Overexpression of Etsβ1 in human umbilical ve
