[Interdisciplinary management of extracranial vascular anomalies].

Background: A multitude of vascular anomalies exist and can lead to severe complications. Treatment can be complex.

Objective: This overview aims to provide important information for the management of vascular anomalies.

Shear stress switches the association of endothelial enhancers from ETV/ETS to KLF transcription factor binding sites.

Endothelial cells (ECs) lining blood vessels are exposed to mechanical forces, such as shear stress. These forces control many aspects of EC biology, including vascular tone, cell migration and proliferation. Despite a good understanding of the genes responding to shear stress, our insight into the transcriptional regulation of these genes is much more limited.

"Fun slipping into the doctor's role"-The relationship between sonoanatomy teaching and professional identity formation before and during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The various psychological dimensions of professional identity formation (PIF) are an important aspect of the study course for undergraduate medical students. Anatomical learning environments have been repeatedly shown to play a critical role in forming such an identity; however, relevance of PIF during sonoanatomical training remains underexplored. At the end of their basic anatomy studies, third-semester medical students took part in a four-day block course on anatomy and imaging.

JAM-A interacts with α3β1 integrin and tetraspanins CD151 and CD9 to regulate collective cell migration of polarized epithelial cells.

Junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-A is a cell adhesion receptor localized at epithelial cell-cell contacts with enrichment at the tight junctions. Its role during cell-cell contact formation and epithelial barrier formation has intensively been studied. In contrast, its role during collective cell migration is largely unexplored.
