Vimentin gene expression was found to be strongly positively correlated with focal adhesion and extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover, hallmark processes in the tumor microenvironment during tumor angiogenesis, as well as with other described tumor endothelial markers, e.g., galectin-1 (Supplementary Fig. 1e)8,11,16. The gene discussed is VIM; the disease is neoplasm.
