Description:
Article Tumours acquire new vasculature through angiogenesis or through alternative pathways including the less understood vasculogenesis mimicry. Here the authors identify a vasculogenic mimicry-competent subpopulation of melanoma cells that expresses the vascular cell adhesion molecule PECAM1, but not VEGFR-2.
