Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is clinically-approved in the treatment of angiogenic disorders, particularly eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma. PDT causes vascular occlusion resulting in ...
Within the field of migration studies, the construction of transnational networks and multilocal belongings has been widely described (Beck 2000, Glick-Schiller et al. 1995). However, much of this literature focuses on the construction of networks based on ...
PHD2 serves as an oxygen sensor that rescues blood supply by regulating vessel formation and shape in case of oxygen shortage. However, it is unknown whether PHD2 can influence arteriogenesis. Here we studied the role of PHD2 in collateral artery growth by ...
Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells convey proangiogenic programs that counteract the efficacy of antiangiogenic therapy. Here, we show that blocking angiopoietin-2 (ANG2), a TIE2 ligand and angiogenic factor expressed by activated endothelial cells (ECs), re ...
Objective-Impaired regeneration of endothelial cells (EC) and overactivity of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) are hallmarks of the arterial lesions associated with aging. The occurrence of 2 opposing cellular processes in the same arterial milieu makes ...
Reactive oxygen species, specifically hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), activate signal transduction pathways during angiogenesis and therefore play an important role in physiol. development as well as various pathophysiologies. Herein, the authors utilize a near- ...
Cell organization into functional multicellular three-dimensional structures is a long-standing challenge. In particular, engineering of vascularized tissues requires both blood and lymphatic neovascular network formation in a simultaneous and coordinated ...
Although growth factors naturally exert their morphogenetic influences within the context of the extracellular matrix microenvironment, the interactions among growth factors, their receptors, and other extracellular matrix components are typically ignored ...
Conducting tissue healing and regeneration through biomaterials and morphogens is still an unrealized goal. Understand the multiple roles of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is indeed essential for the design of successful regenerative medicine strategies. D ...
In the developing heart, a subset of endothelial cells (ECs) undergo a process of endothelial to mesenchymal transformation (EMT) that leads to the remodeling of the cardiac cushions and the formation of the cardiac valves. Understanding how microenvironme ...
