Tissue remodelling through branching morphogenesis
Abstract
Branched structures are evident at all levels of organization in living organisms. Many organs, such as the vascular system, lung, kidney and mammary gland, are heavily branched. In each of these cases, equally fascinating questions have been put forward, including those that address the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate the branching process itself, such as where the branches are initiated and how they extend and grow in the right direction. Recent experiments suggest that cell competition and cell rearrangements might be conserved key features in branch formation and might be controlled by local cell signalling.

Anti-inflammatory, pro-repair macrophages produce VEGF, which promotes vessel sprouting, and express two transmembrane proteins that promote vascular anastomosis.
“Not only do anti-inflammatory, pro-repair macrophages produce VEGF, which promotes vessel sprouting, they also express two transmembrane proteins that have been shown to promote vascular anastomosis [80, 85, 86].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
