Prostaglandin E Positively Modulates Endothelial Progenitor Cell Homeostasis: An Advanced Treatment Modality for Autologous Cell Therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Aims: The mobilization of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) and their functioning in postnatal neovascularization are tightly regulated. To identify new modulators of EPC homeostasis, we screened biologically active prostaglandin E compounds for their ...

Hepatocyte Transplantation in the Treatment of Acute Liver Failure: Microencapsulated Hepatocytes versus Hepatocytes Attached to an Autologous Biomatrix

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2003
A liver transplant is considered today to be the only effective therapeutic solution for many otherwise intractable hepatic disorders. However, liver transplantation is beset by shortage of donors.

Blood vessel remodeling in pig ovarian follicles during the periovulatory period: an immunohistochemistry and SEM-corrosion casting study

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2009
Background The present research aims to describe the process of vascular readjustment occurring in pig ovary during the periovulatory phase (from LH surge to ovulation) that drives the transformation of the follicle, a limited blood supplied structure ...

Disease modifying and antiangiogenic activity of 2-Methoxyestradiol in a murine model of rheumatoid arthritis

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2009
Background A critical component of disease progression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involves neovascularization associated with pannus formation. 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME2) is a naturally occurring molecule with no known physiologic function, although at ...

Induction of Neovascularization by Activated Human Monocytes

open access: yes, 1986
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 ...

Relevance of monocytic features for neovascularization capacity of circulating endothelial progenitor cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Background— Transplantation of ex vivo expanded circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells improves the neovascularization after critical ischemia. However, the origin of the endothelial progenitor lineage and

Spatially Controlled Embedded Bioprinting of Prevascularized Spheroids‐Containing Biopatch Enables Functional Skin Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A spatially controlled embedded bioprinting strategy enables precise engineering of prevascularized multicellular spheroids within skin‐derived dECM bioinks. Optimized spheroid size, composition, and spacing promote vascular maturation, paracrine signaling, and tissue integration, resulting in enhanced angiogenesis, blood perfusion, and functional skin

High flow conditions increase connexin43 expression in a rat arteriovenous and angioinductive loop model.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Gap junctions are involved in vascular growth and their expression pattern is modulated in response to hemodynamic conditions. They are clusters of intercellular channels formed by connexins (Cx) of which four subtypes are expressed in the cardiovascular

Advancing Human Skin Equivalents: The Crucial Role of Neurovascular Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses the importance of integrating vascular and peripheral nerve systems into human skin equivalents (HSEs) to better recapitulate native skin physiology. Recent advances in vascularized, innervated, and neurovascularized HSEs are highlighted, together with emerging bioengineering strategies, current challenges, and future ...
