Protein Kinase C-related Kinase and ROCK Are Required for Thrombin-induced Endothelial Cell Permeability Downstream from G{alpha}12/13 and G{alpha}11/q [PDF]
The Journal of Biological Chemistry 283, 44 (2008) 29888-96, 2008 Increase in vascular permeability occurs under many physiological conditions and is central in diverse human pathologies. Thrombin is a pro-coagulant serine protease, which causes the local loss of endothelial barrier integrity thereby enabling the rapid extravasation of plasma proteins and the local formation of fibrin-containing clots.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Unjamming and nematic flocks in endothelial monolayers during angiogenesis : theoretical and experimental analysis [PDF]
, 2018 Angiogenesis is the complex process by which new blood vessels develop from an existing vasculature in order to supply nutrients and/or metabolites to tissues, playing a fundamental role in many physiological and pathological conditions such as embryogenesis and tissue repair or tumour growth.

Mathematical modeling of glioma invasion and therapy approaches via kinetic theory of active particles [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 A multiscale model for glioma spread in brain tissue under the influence of vascularization and vascular endothelial growth factors is proposed. It accounts for the interplay between the different components of the neoplasm and the healthy tissue and it investigates and compares various therapy approaches.

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

Transcriptional profiling reveals fundamental differences in iPS-derived progenitors of endothelial cells (PECs) versus adult circulating EPCs [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 There are a number of different stem cell sources that have the potential to be used as therapeutics in vascular degenerative diseases. On the one hand, there are so called endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which are typically derived from adult blood. They carry the marker CD34, but the true nature and definition of EPCs is still controversial.
