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 ...
Developing tissues and growing tumours produce vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs), leading to the activation of the corresponding receptors in endothelial cells. The resultant angiogenic expansion of the local vasculature can promote physiological ...
BACKGROUND: Our earlier reports demonstrated that membrane-bound semaphorin 5A (SEMA5A) is expressed in aggressive pancreatic cancer cells and tumours, and promotes tumour growth and metastasis. In this study, we examine whether (1) pancreatic cancer cells ...
We present use of a synthetic, injectable matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)- responsive, bioactive hydrogel as an in situ forming scaffold to deliver thymosin beta 4 (T beta 4), a pro-angiogenic and pro-survival factor, along with vascular cells derived from ...
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 ...
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- ...
Therapeutic regulation of tissue vascularization has appeared as an attractive approach to treat a number of human diseases. In vivo neovascularization assays that reflect physiological and pathological formation of neovessels are important in this effort. ...
The vascular network is an integral component of most organs. Beyond assuring an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients for normal tissue function, vascular structures provide also a critical interface in the balance of tissue homoeostasis and immune func ...
Radiotherapy is a widely used treatment option in cancer. However, recent evidence suggests that doses of ionizing radiation (IR) delivered inside the tumor target volume, during fractionated radiotherapy, can promote tumor invasion and metastasis. Further ...
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 ...
