Peptide Lv and Angiogenesis: A Newly Discovered Angiogenic Peptide

Biomedicines
Peptide Lv is a small endogenous secretory peptide with ~40 amino acids and is highly conserved among certain several species. While it was first discovered that it augments L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (LTCCs) in neurons, thus it was named ...

Matrix Metalloproteinases and Glaucoma Treatment. [PDF]

, 2020
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteolytic enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen and have important roles in multiple biological processes, including development and tissue remodeling, both in ...

Thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) Promotes Follicular Angiogenesis, Luteinization, and Ovulation in Primates

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Angiogenesis is essential to both ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum. The thrombospondin (THBS) family of glycoproteins plays diverse roles in regulation of angiogenesis, but the role of these vascular regulators in ovulation and ...

E2F1 Suppresses Oxidative Metabolism and Endothelial Differentiation of Bone Marrow Progenitor Cells [PDF]

, 2018
RATIONALE: The majority of current cardiovascular cell therapy trials use bone marrow progenitor cells (BM PCs) and achieve only modest efficacy; the limited potential of these cells to differentiate into endothelial-lineage cells is one of the major ...

Expandable Nanocomposite Shape‐Memory Hemostat for the Treatment of Noncompressible Hemorrhage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A nanocomposite‐coated shape memory foam rapidly expands, accelerates clotting, and reduces blood loss in vivo. Its fast volumetric expansion and strong procoagulant activity make it a promising hemostat for treating deep, noncompressible hemorrhage.

Absence of TGFβ signaling in retinal microglia induces retinal degeneration and exacerbates choroidal neovascularization

eLife, 2019
Constitutive TGFβ signaling is important in maintaining retinal neurons and blood vessels and is a factor contributing to the risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a retinal disease involving neurodegeneration and microglial activation.
