Hypoxia-induced signaling in angiogenesis : role of mTOR, HIF and Angiotensin II [PDF]
This thesis includes the work of four different projects I have been following during my time as a PhD student; (1) the characterization of mTOR-associated signaling and endothelial cell proliferation in response to hypoxia, and (2) identification of ...

Mechanisms of Action of Novel Drugs Targeting Angiogenesis-Promoting Matrix Metalloproteinases
Angiogenesis is facilitated by the proteolytic activities of members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. More specifically, MMP-9 and MT1-MMP directly regulate angiogenesis, while several studies indicate a role for MMP-2 as well.

New molecular mediators in tumor angiogenesis [PDF]
Angiogenesis is essential for tumor growth and progression. It has been demonstrated that tumor growth beyond a size 1 to 2 mm3 requires the induction of new vessels.

Angiogenesis in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has been extensively investigated as a promising druggable biological process. Nonetheless, targeting angiogenesis has failed to impact overall survival (OS) in patients with mCRPC ...

Angiogenesis and angiogenesis inhibitors in paediatric diseases
Angiogenesis, the generation of new capillaries from existing blood vessels, is rarely observed in the healthy organism, but can present during various paediatric diseases. In this review, we describe recent progress in the understanding of pathological angiogenesis and approaches for an improved therapy of angiogenic childhood diseases.

Investigation of the marine compound spongistatin 1 links the inhibition of PKCα translocation to nonmitotic effects of tubulin antagonism in angiogenesis [PDF]
The aims of the study were to meet the demand of new tubulin antagonists with fewer side effects by characterizing the antiangiogenic properties of the experimental compound spongistatin 1, and to elucidate nonmitotic mechanisms by which tubulin ...

Exogenously added GPI-anchored tissue inhibitor of matrix metal loproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) displays enhanced and novel biological activities [PDF]
The family of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) exhibits diverse physiological/biological functions including the inhibition of active matrix metalloproteinases, regulation of proMMP activation, cell growth, and the modulation of ...

The angiogenic response to Bradykinin "in vitro" : the role of Bradykinin receptors in hypoxic hearts and tumors [PDF]
End organ damage resulting from hypertension is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In hypertension, left ventricular mass increases resulting in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). LVH increases the risk of heart failure and sudden

Modelling stromal FAK regulation of tumour growth, angiogenesis and progression [PDF]
PhDThe growth of tumours within a whole organism depends on the tumour microenvironment. This involves both resident stromal cells, such as endothelial cells and fibroblasts, and also bone marrow derived stromal cells.
