Clinical significance of VEGF-A, -C and -D expression in esophageal malignancies [PDF]
, 2005 Vascular endothelial growth factors ( VEGF)- A, - C and - D are members of the proangiogenic VEGF family of glycoproteins. VEGF-A is known to be the most important angiogenic factor under physiological and pathological conditions, while VEGF-C and VEGF-D

Lymphedema and Therapeutic Lymphangiogenesis
BioMed Research International, 2013 Lymphedema is a disorder of the lymphatic vascular system characterized by impaired lymphatic return and swelling of the extremities. Lymphedema is divided into primary and secondary forms based on the underlying etiology. Despite substantial advances in both surgical and conservative techniques, therapeutic options for the management of lymphedema are

Podoplanin immunopositive lymphatic vessels at the implant interface in a rat model of osteoporotic fractures [PDF]
, 2013 Insertion of bone substitution materials accelerates healing of osteoporotic fractures. Biodegradable materials are preferred for application in osteoporotic patients to avoid a second surgery for implant replacement. Degraded implant fragments are often

Angiogenic gene expression and vascular density are reflected in ultrasonographic features of synovitis in early Rheumatoid Arthritis: an observational study. [PDF]
, 2015 INTRODUCTION: Neovascularization contributes to the development of sustained synovial inflammation in the early stages of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Ultrasound (US) provides an indirect method of assessing synovial blood flow and has been shown to correlate ...

Structure-preserving semi-convex-splitting numerical scheme for a Cahn-Hilliard cross-diffusion system in lymphangiogenesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 A fully discrete semi-convex-splitting finite-element scheme with stabilization for a Cahn-Hilliard cross-diffusion system is analyzed. The system consists of parabolic fourth-order equations for the volume fraction of the fiber phase and solute concentration, modeling pre-patterning of lymphatic vessel morphology.

Lymphatic expression of CLEVER-1 in breast cancer and its relationship with lymph node metastasis [PDF]
, 2011 BACKGROUND Mechanisms regulating breast cancer lymph node metastasis are unclear. Staining of CLEVER-1 (common lymphatic endothelial and vascular endothelial receptor-1) in human breast tumors was used, along with in vitro techniques, to assess ...

CLEC-2 and Syk in the megakaryocytic/platelet lineage are essential for development [PDF]
, 2011 The C-type lectin receptor CLEC-2 signals through a pathway that is critically dependent on the tyrosine kinase Syk. We show that homozygous loss of either protein results in defects in brain vascular and lymphatic development, lung inflation and ...

Lymphatic vasculature mediates macrophage reverse cholesterol transport in mice [PDF]
, 2013 Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) refers to the mobilization of cholesterol on HDL particles (HDL-C) from extravascular tissues to plasma, ultimately for fecal excretion. Little is known about how HDL-C leaves peripheral tissues to reach plasma.
