The discovery of angiogenic growth factors: the contribution of Italian scientists [PDF]
Angiogenesis is regulated, under both physiological and pathological conditions, by numerous “non-classic” pro-angiogenic factors, including fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and placental growth factor (PlGF),

Rapamycin but not FK506 inhibits the proliferation of mononuclear phagocytes induced by colony-stimulating factors [PDF]
FK506, CsA, and rapamycin are potent inhibitors of T lymphocyte activation; relatively little is known of their effects on cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage.

The human type II collagen (Col II), specifically expressed in chondrocytes, is a crucial component of the adult hyaline cartilage. We examine the potential of artificial induction of Col II in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) as a novel

Preclinical correction of human Fanconi anemia complementation group A bone marrow cells using a safety-modified lentiviral vector. [PDF]
One of the major hurdles for the development of gene therapy for Fanconi anemia (FA) is the increased sensitivity of FA stem cells to free radical-induced DNA damage during ex vivo culture and manipulation.

Effect in supralethally irradiated rats of granulocyte colony- stimulating factor and lisofylline on hematopoietic reconstitution by syngeneic bone marrow or whole organ passenger leukocytes [PDF]
We have previously shown the existence of migratory hematopoietic stem cells in adult solid organs. This study demonstrates that granulocyte colony- stimulating factor (G-CSF) and lisofylline, a phosphatidic acid inhibitor that suppresses hematopoiesis ...

Orientações para a prevenção da neutropenia febril em doentes submetidos a quimioterapia.
Neutropenia and febrile neutropenia are common consequences of some cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens. This situation leads to modifications of the therapeutic regimen, conducting to either dose reduction or cycle delays.

Granulocyte-activating mediators (GRAM) [PDF]
In the present study we investigated the capability of human epidermal cells to generate granulocyte-activating mediators (GRAM). It could be shown that human epidermal cells as well as an epidermoid carcinoma cell line (A431) produce an epidermal cell ...
