Circulating angiogenesis-related biomarkers in sickle cell retinopathy and maculopathy. [PDF]
Summary Sickle cell disease (SCD), encompassing genotypes such as HbSS and HbSC, leads to retinal complications such as sickle cell retinopathy (SCR) and maculopathy (SCM) through poorly understood mechanisms. This study explored associations of a panel of circulating angiogenesis‐related factors with SCR and SCM.

The Promise of Chemotherapy-Free Strategies in Advanced Driver-Negative NSCLC: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Antiangiogenic Combination Therapies. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Antiangiogenic combination therapy—antiangiogenic agents combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors and/or chemotherapy—has become an important treatment strategy for advanced driver‐negative non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We conducted a network meta‐analysis to compare efficacy and safety and identify optimal antiangiogenic ...

Angiogenic and angiostatic factors in renal scleroderma-associated vasculopathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The angiogenesis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is impaired. An imbalance of pro-angiogenic factors and angiogenesis inhibitors has been implicated in the progression of peripheral microvascular damage, defective vascular repair and fibrosis ...

Endostatin gene variation and protein levels in breast cancer susceptibility and severity
Background Endostatin is a potent endogenous anti-angiogenic agent which inhibits tumour growth. A non-synonymous coding polymorphism in the Endostatin gene is thought to affect Endostatin activity.

Dual-function injectable angiogenic biomaterial for the repair of brain tissue following stroke. [PDF]
Stroke is the primary cause of disability due to the brain's limited ability to regenerate damaged tissue. After stroke, an increased inflammatory and immune response coupled with severely limited angiogenesis and neuronal growth results in a stroke ...
