Inhibition of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Improves Physiological Angiogenesis and Reduces Pathological Neovascularization in Ischemic Retinopathy [PDF]
The present study was undertaken to test whether inhibition of the proangiogenic inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha can modulate retinal hypoxia and preretinal neovascularization in a murine model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR).

Synchrotron Radiation Coronary Microangiography for Morphometric and Physiological Evaluation of Myocardial Neovascularization Induced by Endothelial Progenitor Cell Transplantation [PDF]
Background— Therapeutic effect of stem cell transplantation (SCTx) for myocardial neovascularization has been evaluated by histological capillary density in small animals. However, it has been technically difficult to obtain imaging evidence of collateral formation by conventional angiography.

Induction of Neovascularization by Activated Human Monocytes [PDF]
Neovascularization, the process of new blood vessel growth, is an important feature of many pathologic and physiologic processes. Monocytes were isolated from citrated blood buffy coat of healthy adult human donors on Ficoll-Hypaque gradients ...

Targeting VEGF in eye neovascularization: What's new? A comprehensive review on current therapies and oligonucleotide-based interventions under development [PDF]
Roughly ten years ago the FDA approved most of the presently used anti-VEGF drugs for the treatment of neovascular AMD and other eye pathologies characterized by ocular neoangiogenesis.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is one of the major cytokines in inflammation and apoptosis. It has been demonstrated that inhibition of TNFalpha can reduce leukocyte adhesion, vascular leakage, and apoptotic endothelial cell death in diabetes. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of TNF-Rp55 and TNF-Rp75 on retinal development in ...

The Matricellular Protein Cysteine-rich Protein 61 (CCN1/Cyr61) Enhances Physiological Adaptation of Retinal Vessels and Reduces Pathological Neovascularization Associated with Ischemic Retinopathy [PDF]
Retinal vascular damages are the cardinal hallmarks of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a leading cause of vision impairment and blindness in childhood. Both angiogenesis and vasculogenesis are disrupted in the hyperoxia-induced vaso-obliteration phase, and recapitulated, although aberrantly, in the subsequent ischemia-induced neovessel formation ...

Emerging role of dopamine in neovascularization of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma [PDF]
Dopamine is a catecholamine that acts both as a neurotransmitter and as a hormone, exerting its functions via dopamine (DA) receptors that are present in a broad variety of organs and cells throughout the body.

miR‐30a‐5p inhibition promotes interaction of Fas+endothelial cells and FasL+microglia to decrease pathological neovascularization and promote physiological angiogenesis [PDF]
AbstractIschemia‐induced angiogenesis contributes to various neuronal and retinal diseases, and often results in neurodegeneration and visual impairment. Current treatments involve the use of anti‐VEGF agents but are not successful in all cases. In this study we determined that miR‐30a‐5p is another important mediator of retinal angiogenesis.

Neovascularization and recurrent varicose veins: more histologic and ultrasound evidence [PDF]
BackgroundThe recurrence of varicose veins is a common and costly consequence of varicose vein surgery. Despite the long history and vast experience of varicose vein surgery, the exact cause of recurrence is still unknown.
