Abstract

The vascular permeability barrier must be maintained in response to changes to vessel calibre, shear stress and blood pressure. A new study reveals a remarkable mechanism for flow-mediated regulation of permeability: Notch1 activation leads to the assembly of GTPase signalling complexes at VE-cadherin contacts and a strengthening of the endothelial barrier.
