Cell. 2017 Oct 19;171(3):724-724.e1. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2017.10.009.

Abstract

Angiopoietins signal through TIE receptors to control both developmental and homeostatic processes that can go awry in genetic diseases and cancer. This SnapShot illustrates key elements of angiopoietin signaling in normal and disease contexts.
