Source sentences:
text: However, the majority of studies suggest that EC apoptosis is frequently seen in remodelling vessels, implying that EC apoptosis plays a role in the remodelling process.
text: As well as supporting vessel regression and possibly promoting angiogenesis, EC apoptosis may in addition play a role in lumen formation.
text: Additional evidence that EC apoptosis plays a role in vascular biology is provided by the inactivation of genes encoding regulators of EC apoptosis in mice.
