Targeting ATF6 reduces pathological neovascularization and improves visual outcomes in retinal disease models [PDF]
Pathological retinal neovascularization is a cause of vision loss in diseases including retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy. The Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) is an intracellular signal

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of blindness in children worldwide. Blindness can occur from retinal detachment caused by pathologic retinal angiogenesis into the vitreous, termed intravitreal neovascularization (IVNV).

TNF-alpha increases angiogenic potential in a co-culture system of dental pulp cells and endothelial cells [PDF]
We recently demonstrated that a co-culture system of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) could enhance angiogenesis ability in vitro.

Physiological MRI of microvascular architecture, neovascularization activity, and oxygen metabolism facilitate early recurrence detection in patients with IDH-mutant WHO grade 3 glioma [PDF]
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to determine the diagnostic performance of physiological MRI biomarkers including microvascular perfusion and architecture, neovascularization activity, tissue oxygen metabolism, and tension for recurrence detection of IDH-mutant WHO grade 3 glioma. Methods

Angiogenic effects of cryosurgery with liquid nitrogen on the normal skin of rats, through morphometric study [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Cryosurgery is an efficient therapeutic technique used to treat benign and malignant cutaneous diseases. The primary active mechanism of cryosurgery is related to vascular effects on treated tissue.

Proangiogenic cells enhanced persistent and physiologic neovascularization compared with macrophages [PDF]
Proangiogenic cells (PACs) display surface markers and secrete angiogenic factors similar to those used by myelomonocytic cells, but, unlike myelomonocytic cells, PACs enhance neovascularization activity in experimental ischemic diseases. This study was performed to reveal the differential neovascularization activities of PACs compared with those of ...

Roles of lipocalin-type and hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthases in mouse retinal angiogenesis
Normal angiogenesis is essential for retinal development and maintenance of visual function in the eye, and its abnormality can cause retinopathy and other eye diseases. Prostaglandin D2 is an anti-angiogenic lipid mediator produced by lipocalin-type PGD

VEGF164-mediated Inflammation Is Required for Pathological, but Not Physiological, Ischemia-induced Retinal Neovascularization [PDF]
Hypoxia-induced VEGF governs both physiological retinal vascular development and pathological retinal neovascularization. In the current paper, the mechanisms of physiological and pathological neovascularization are compared and contrasted. During pathological neovascularization, both the absolute and relative expression levels for VEGF164 increased to

Bone Marrow Origin of Endothelial Progenitor Cells Responsible for Postnatal Vasculogenesis in Physiological and Pathological Neovascularization [PDF]
Abstract —Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been isolated in peripheral blood of adult species. To determine the origin and role of EPCs contributing to postnatal vasculogenesis, transgenic mice constitutively expressing β-galactosidase under the transcriptional regulation of an endothelial cell–specific ...
