Mesoscopic and continuum modelling of angiogenesis [PDF]
Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones in response to chemical signals secreted by, for example, a wound or a tumour. In this paper, we propose a mesoscopic lattice-based model of angiogenesis, in which processes that include proliferation and cell movement are considered as stochastic events.

Spatio-temporal Models of Lymphangiogenesis in Wound Healing [PDF]
Several studies suggest that one possible cause of impaired wound healing is failed or insufficient lymphangiogenesis, that is the formation of new lymphatic capillaries. Although many mathematical models have been developed to describe the formation of blood capillaries (angiogenesis), very few have been proposed for the regeneration of the lymphatic ...

A dominant-negative FGF1 mutant (the R50E mutant) suppresses tumorigenesis and angiogenesis. [PDF]
Fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF1) and FGF2 play a critical role in angiogenesis, a formation of new blood vessels from existing blood vessels. Integrins are critically involved in FGF signaling through crosstalk. We previously reported that FGF1 directly

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A induces endothelial hyperpermeability, but the molecular pathways remain incompletely understood. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) regulates acute effects of VEGF-A on permeability of endothelial cells (

New Insight on 2D In Vitro Angiogenesis Models: All That Stretches Is Not a Tube
A Matrigel-based tube formation assay is a simple and widely accepted 2D angiogenesis model in vitro. Extracellular matrix (EM) proteins and growth factors (GFs) from MatrigelTM exclusively trigger endothelial cell (EC) tubular network (ETN) formation ...

Computational modelling of angiogenesis: The importance of cell rearrangements during vascular growth [PDF]
Angiogenesis is the process wherein endothelial cells (ECs) form sprouts that elongate from the pre-existing vasculature to create new vascular networks. In addition to its essential role in normal development, angiogenesis plays a vital role in pathologies such as cancer, diabetes and atherosclerosis.

p53 expression as a prognostic marker in hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent cancers worldwide with a high mortality. Immunohistochemical overexpression of the p53 protein was correlated with a poor prognosis in various human malignancies, including HCC.

Local photoreceptor cell death differences in the murine model of retinal detachment
To investigate local cell death differences in the attached and detached retina at different regions in a murine experimental retinal detachment model. Subretinal injection of sodium hyaluronate was performed in eight-week-old C57BL/6J mice.

Inhibition of the mitochondrial protein Opa1 curtails breast cancer growth
Background Mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins have been nominated as druggable targets in cancer. Whether their inhibition is efficacious in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) that almost invariably develops chemoresistance is unknown.
