Assembly of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells on Compliant Hydrogels [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering, 2010 Angiogenesis is the process by which endothelial cells grow and disassemble into functional blood vessels. In this study, we examine the fundamental processes that control the assembly of endothelial cells into networks in vitro. Network assembly is known to be influenced by matrix mechanics and chemical signals.

VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) Induces NRP1 (Neuropilin-1) Cleavage via ADAMs (a Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase) 9 and 10 to Generate Novel Carboxy- Terminal NRP1 Fragments That Regulate Angiogenic Signaling [PDF]
, 2018 OBJECTIVE: NRP1(neuropilin-1) acts as a coreceptor for VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) with an essential role in angiogenesis. Recent findings suggest that posttranslational proteolytic cleavage of VEGF receptors may be an important mechanism

Hypericin-photodynamic therapy induces human umbilical vein endothelial cell apoptosis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractThe conventional photosensitizers used in photodynamic therapy (PDT), such as haematoporphyrin (HP), have not yet reached satisfactory therapeutic effects on port-wine stains (PWSs), due largely to the long-term dark toxicity. Previously we have showed that hypericin exhibited potent photocytotoxic effects on Roman chicken cockscomb model of ...

Immunomodulatory effects of 17-O-acetylacuminolide in RAW264.7 cells and HUVECs : involvement of MAPK and NF-κB pathways [PDF]
, 2014 The terpenoid 17-O-acetylacuminolide (AA) was shown to inhibit the production of several inflammatory mediators. However, the mechanisms by which this compound elicited its anti-inflammatory activity remain to be elucidated.

Chemokine-like factor 1-derived C-terminal peptides induce the proliferation of dermal microvascular endothelial cells in psoriasis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the abnormal proliferation of skin cells, including dermal microvascular endothelial cells. Recently, chemokine-like factor 1 (CKLF1) was found to participate in the local inflammation and cell ...

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017 BackgroundIntermittent hypoxia (IH) induced by obstructive sleep apnea is the key factor involved in cardiovascular fibrosis. Under persistent hypoxia condition, endothelial cells respond by endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndMT), which is ...
