Vascular dimorphism ensured by regulated proteoglycan dynamics favors rapid umbilical artery closure at birth
The umbilical artery lumen closes rapidly at birth, preventing neonatal blood loss, whereas the umbilical vein remains patent longer. Here, analysis of umbilical cords from humans and other mammals identified differential arterial-venous proteoglycan dynamics as a determinant of these contrasting va...
