Abstract:Cardiac homeostasis relies on the appropriate provision of nutrients and functional specialization of local endothelial cells. Previously we reported in this journal that the endothelial Eph-ephrin signalling, in particular the ligand EphB4, is required for the maintenance of vascular integrity and correct fatty acid transport uptake in the heart via regulating the caveolar trafficking of the fatty acid receptor CD36. In the mouse, endothelial specific loss-of-function of the receptor EphB4, or its ligand ephr… Show more
