New molecular mediators in tumor angiogenesis [PDF]
Angiogenesis is essential for tumor growth and progression. It has been demonstrated that tumor growth beyond a size 1 to 2 mm3 requires the induction of new vessels.

Midkine’s Role in Cardiac Pathology [PDF]
Midkine (MDK) is a heparin-binding growth factor that is normally expressed in mid-gestational development mediating mesenchymal and epithelial interactions. As organisms age, expression of MDK diminishes; however, in adults, MDK expression is associated with acute and chronic pathologic conditions such as myocardial infarction and heart failure (HF ...

Serum protein fingerprinting by PEA immunoassay coupled with a pattern-recognition algorithms distinguishes MGUS and multiple myeloma [PDF]
Serum protein fingerprints associated with MGUS and MM and their changes in MM after autologous stem cell transplantation (MM-ASCT, day 100) remain unexplored.

Midkine is a NF-κB-inducible gene that supports prostate cancer cell survival
Background Midkine is a heparin-binding growth factor that is over-expressed in various human cancers and plays important roles in cell transformation, growth, survival, migration, and angiogenesis. However, little is known about the upstream factors and

Multiple cis-regulatory elements collaborate to control mdka expression in telencephalic neural stem cells of adult zebrafish during constitutive and regenerative neurogenesis. [PDF]
midkine‐a (mdka), a pan‐injury response gene in vertebrates, is precisely regulated in the zebrafish telencephalon by a modular cis‐regulatory architecture. This control ensures proper expression during development, adult brain homeostasis, and regeneration.

The proangiogenic capacity of polymorphonuclear neutrophils delineated by microarray technique and by measurement of neovascularization in wounded skin of CD18-deficient mice [PDF]
Growing evidence supports the concept that polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) are critically involved in inflammation-mediated angiogenesis which is important for wound healing and repair.

Monoclonal Antibody to Human Midkine Reveals Increased Midkine Expression in Human Brain Tumors [PDF]
We produced a rat IgG2a monoclonal antibody against the carboxyl terminal region of human midkine (MK), a novel growth factor. This monoclonal antibody was used in immunohistochemical studies to compare the expression of MK, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and p53 protein in 133 primary brain tumors and 21 carcinoma metastases to the central ...

The circulating midkine in the newly diagnosed celiac disease: Clinical implications
Background: Celiac disease (CeD) is a chronic inflammatory small intestine disorder caused by an abnormal immune response to an array of the epitopes of the wheat gluten and related proteins of rye and barley in genetically susceptible individuals ...
