The impact of high density receptor clusters on VEGF signaling [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling is involved in the process of blood vessel development and maintenance. Signaling is initiated by binding of the bivalent VEGF ligand to the membrane-bound receptors (VEGFR), which in turn stimulates receptor dimerization.

Fabrication of a nanoparticle-containing 3D porous bone scaffold with proangiogenic and antibacterial properties [PDF]
3D porous scaffolds based on agarose and nanocrystalline apatite, two structural components that act as a temporary mineralized extracellular matrix, were prepared by the GELPOR3D method. This shaping technology allows the introduction of thermally-labile molecules within the scaffolds during the fabrication procedure.

Psoriatic skin is characterized by microvascular hyperpermeability and angioproliferation, but the mechanisms responsible are unknown. We report here that the hyperplastic epidermis of psoriatic skin expresses strikingly increased amounts of vascular ...

Background Endothelial cell injury, induced by dyslipidemia, is the initiation of atherosclerosis, resulting in an imbalance in endothelial fatty acid (FA) transport. Pigment epithelial‐derived factor (PEDF) is an important regulator in lipid metabolism.

VEGF: An essential mediator of both angiogenesis and endochondral ossification [PDF]
During bone growth, development, and remodeling, angiogenesis as well as osteogenesis are closely associated processes, sharing some essential mediators.

Characterization of the receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (vEGF) is a recently discovered mitogen for endothelial cells. It is also a potent angiogenic factor. We have characterized the vEGF receptors of endothelial cells using both binding and cross-linking techniques. Scatchard analysis of equilibrium binding experiments revealed two types of high-affinity binding sites on

Pancreatic carcinoma cells express neuropilins and vascular endothelial growth factor, but not vascular endothelial growth factor receptors [PDF]
AbstractBACKGROUNDNeuropilins (NRPs) are characterized as coreceptors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In the current study, the authors assessed the expression of NRPs, VEGF, and vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs), as well as VEGF‐induced cell proliferation, in pancreatic carcinoma cell lines and tissue specimens ...

AbstractVascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C) binds to receptor vascular endothelial growth factor receptor‐3 (VEGFR‐3) expressed on lymphatic endothelial and melanoma cells. Binding of VEGF‐C to VEGFR‐3 enhances receptor phosphorylation that activates mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAP‐K) and phosphatidylinositol‐3‐kinase (PI3K).

Mechanical cell-matrix feedback explains pairwise and collective endothelial cell behavior in vitro [PDF]
In vitro cultures of endothelial cells are a widely used model system of the collective behavior of endothelial cells during vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. When seeded in an extracellular matrix, endothelial cells can form blood vessel-like structures, including vascular networks and sprouts.
