Vascular Homeostasis and Angiogenesis Determine Therapeutic Effectiveness in Type 2 Diabetes

International Journal of Vascular Medicine, 2011
Under common practice, recognition and treatment of type 2 diabetic nephropathy (DN) are usually revealed at a rather late stage (CKD stages 3–5) due to the insensitiveness of available diagnostic markers.

RASSF1A-Mediated Suppression of Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERα)-Driven Breast Cancer Cell Growth Depends on the Hippo-Kinases LATS1 and 2

Cells, 2021
Around 70% of breast cancers express the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα). This receptor is of central importance for breast cancer development and estrogen-dependent tumor growth.

Impaired microvascular endothelial function is restored by acute lower-limb exercise in post-surgical varicose vein patients [PDF]

, 2008
Evidence exists that cutaneous microvascular endothelial dysfunction persists in patients following varicose vein surgery. This study compared cutaneous microvascular function between post-surgical varicose vein patients and healthy controls and ...

Fluoroscopic methods of assessment of coronary microvascular dysfunction – a review of literature [PDF]

Българска кардиология
A large proportion of patients with angina and evidence of myocardial ischemia do not have obstructive coronary disease. One of the main mechanisms of ischemia/angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries is coronary microvascular dysfunction, which is ...

Exosomes Derived From Pericytes Improve Microcirculation and Protect Blood–Spinal Cord Barrier After Spinal Cord Injury in Mice

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to severe and permanent paralysis and places a heavy burden on individuals, families, and society. Until now, the therapy of SCI is still a big challenge for the researchers. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (

Hypertension and microvascular remodelling [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 2008
In the present review, microvascular remodelling refers to alterations in the structure of resistance vessels contributing to elevated systemic vascular resistance in hypertension. We start with some historical aspects, underscoring the importance of Folkow's contribution made half a century ago.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Microvascular tissue transfer in reconstruction of anterior skull base defects secondary to sinonasal malignancies: a case series and proposed reconstructive framework

Egyptian Journal of Neurosurgery
Sinonasal malignancies such as lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) and esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) are rare but aggressive neoplasms that frequently necessitate extensive resection of anterior skull base structures, creating complex defects.
