Leukocyte extravasation and vascular permeability

Our group is interested in the molecular mechanisms that control leukocyte extravasation, vascular permeability and the formation of endothelial cell contacts. In addition we are generally interested in the regulation of cell adhesion, with major emphasis on the cadherins.

Keywords: Vascular permeability / leukocyte trafficking / endothelial cell contacts / VE-cadherin / cell adhesion
