Positive and negative regulation of angiogenesis by soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-1 exists in different forms, derived from alternative splicing of the same gene. In addition to the transmembrane form, endothelial cells produce a soluble VEGFR-1 (sVEGFR-1) isoform, whereas non ...

Modulation of Immunity by Lymphatic Dysfunction in Lymphedema
The debilitating condition known as secondary lymphedema frequently occurs after lymphadenectomy and/or radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer. These therapies can damage lymphatic vessels leading to edema, fibrosis, inflammation and dysregulated ...

Hypoxic pre-conditioning increases the infiltration of endothelial cells into scaffolds for dermal regeneration pre-seeded with mesenchymal stem cells. [PDF]
Many therapies using mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) rely on their ability to produce and release paracrine signals with chemotactic and pro-angiogenic activity.

Human Gut-Associated Natural Killer Cells in Health and Disease
It is well established that natural killer (NK) cells are involved in both innate and adaptive immunity. Indeed, they can recognize molecules induced at the cell surface by stress signals and virus infections.

Novel thalidomide analogues display anti-angiogenic activity independently of immunomodulatory effects [PDF]
The anti-tumour effects of thalidomide have been associated with its anti-angiogenic properties. Second generation thalidomide analogues are distinct compounds with enhanced therapeutic potential.

Three-dimensional CRISPR screening reveals epigenetic interaction with anti-angiogenic therapy
Through three-dimensional CRISPR screening, He et al. report that functional inhibition of BET family of proteins BRD2/3/4 shows mitigating effects on blood endothelial cell (EC) survival and/or proliferation upon VEGFA blockade.

Thyroid status modulates T lymphoma growth via cell cycle regulatory proteins and angiogenesis [PDF]
We have shown in vitro that thyroid hormones (THs) regulate the balance between proliferation and apoptosis of T lymphoma cells. The effects of THs on tumor development have been studied, but the results are still controversial.
