摘要: Introduction: Ephrin (Eph) receptors and their membrane-anchored ligands, the ephrins, participate in a wide spectrum of pathophysiological processes, regulating cellular adhesion, migration or chemo-repulsion tissue/cell boundary formation. Recent evidence has further extended role Eph ligands as critical regulators vascular remodelling during embryogenesis. The Ephs/ephrins signalling angiogenic development murine placentas invasion maternal tissues placental vasculature humans currently attracted considerable interest. Areas covered: A literature review summarising most recent data terms normal disease, highlighting on expression status different populations vascularity. Expert opinion: Despite fact that Eph/ephrins is still unclear, some st...
