Twist1 signaling in age-dependent decline in angiogenesis and lung regeneration
Figure 6. Schematic illustration of the angiogenic signaling pathways in young vs. aged ECs. Schematic illustration showing that Twist1 expression is higher in aged ECs, which decreases the expression of PGC1α and VEGFR2, and inhibits EC DNA synthesis and migration in vitro and blood vessel formation and alveolar regeneration in aged mice.
