Background and objective Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C), a member of the VEGF family, has been proven to be a relatively special VEGF. When binding to its receptor VEGFR-3, it activates lymphangiogenesis, which likely induces lymph node ...

Role of Lymphatic Vessels in Tumor Immunity: Passive Conduits or Active Participants? [PDF]
Research in lymphatic biology and cancer immunology may soon intersect as emerging evidence implicates the lymphatics in the progression of chronic inflammation and autoimmunity as well as in tumor metastasis and immune escape. Like the blood vasculature,

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the predominant form of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), accounting for most cancer‐related deaths due to metastasis and recurrence. COX‐2, an inflammatory biomarker encoded by prostaglandin‐endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) gene, has been shown to play a significant role ...

Lymphatics and Lymphangiogenesis in the Eye
Lymphatic is a prerequisite for the maintenance of tissue fluid balance and immunity in the body. A body of evidence also shows that lymphangiogenesis plays important roles in the pathogenesis of diseases such as tumor metastasis and inflammation.

Tumor-induced lymphangiogenesis in cervical lymph nodes in oral melanoma-bearing mice
Background Metastasis via the lymphatic system is promoted by lymphangiogenesis. Alterations of the lymphatic channels during the progression of metastasis to regional lymph nodes (LNs) remain unexplored.

The Homeobox Genes: Classification, Regulation, Biological Functions, and Diseases
Overview of the homeobox gene superfamily and its pathophysiological roles. The homeobox superfamily comprises several major classes, including ANTP, PRD, TALE, LIM, POU, and others. Among these, the HOX clusters (A–D) play critical roles in embryonic development specifically in conferring cellular identity, regulating morphogenesis, and guiding axial ...

AI‐assisted design of a VEGFR2 agonistic peptide that promotes angiogenesis and wound repair
Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) serves as a principal regulator of neovascularization and is essential for vascular regeneration. In this study, we identified and evaluated VEGF Mimetic Peptide3 (VMP3), a novel synthetic peptide developed as a potential VEGFR‐2/VEGF‐A modulator.

Ramucirumab (RAM) plus docetaxel (DOC) after PD‐1 inhibitors showed clinical activity, with responders exhibiting maintained anti–PD‐1 (IgG4+)‐bound CD8+ T cells and decreased IgG4+ Tregs. A sequential strategy of administering RAM plus DOC during persistent anti–PD‐1 antibody binding may be beneficial in patients with advanced non‐small cell lung ...
