<Sandrine De Seranno> investigated signalling between vascular <endothelial cells> and <glial cells> in the neuroendocrine <brain>. A 2004 study combined purified rat <median eminence> <endothelial cells> with cultured <tanycytes>, identifying <nitric oxide>-dependent changes in the <actin> <cytoskeleton>.<Vascular endothelial cells promote acute plasticity in ependymoglial cells of the neuroendocrine brain by Sandrine De Seranno and others>[Journal of Neuroscience 24, pp. 10353–10363; primary byline and culture experiments]{ref}
<Electron microscopy> complemented the culture manipulation: stimulating endogenous <nitric oxide> release changed how glial endings and <GnRH>-containing <axons> approached the vascular surface. The work connected a diffusible signal with altered cellular geometry at a neurovascular interface.<Vascular endothelial cells promote acute plasticity in ependymoglial cells of the neuroendocrine brain by Sandrine De Seranno and others>[Abstract; nitric oxide signalling and ultrastructural changes]{ref}
