Neuropilin-1/GIPC1 signaling regulates α5β1 integrin traffic and function in endothelial cells [PDF]
Neuropilin 1 (Nrp1) is a coreceptor for vascular endothelial growth factor A165 (VEGF-A165, VEGF-A164 in mice) and semaphorin 3A (SEMA3A). Nevertheless, <i>Nrp1</i> null embryos display vascular defects that differ from those of mice lacking ...

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Structural and functional characterization of the intracellular kinase domain of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 [PDF]
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGFs) are key players in blood and lymphatic vessel development and homeostasis. The family consists of five members, VEGF-A, -B, -C, -D and placenta growth factor (PLGF).

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Mast Cells and Inflammation
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important inducers of angiogenesis, therefore blocking angiogenesis has led to great promise in the treatment of various cancers and inflammatory diseases. VEGF, expressed in response to soluble mediators such as cytokines and growth factors, is important in the physiological development of ...

Incomplete microwave ablation (iMWA) of liver cancer triggers a biphasic progression in residual tumors. At Day 3, the microenvironment is characterized by acute inflammatory responses and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. By Day 14, a profound shift occurs toward oncogenic signal transduction and immunosuppression, marked by macrophage ...

Optical Aptasensors for the Analysis of the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
The vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF, is an important biomarker for different diseases and clinical disorders. We present a series of optical aptasensor-based sensing platforms for VEGF that include the following: (i) A FRET-based sensor that involves the VEGF-induced separation of aptamer-functionalized quantum dots blocked by a quencher ...

The splice variants of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and their receptors [PDF]
ABSTRACT Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a secreted mitogen highly specific for cultured endothelial cells. In vivo VEGF induces microvascular permeability and plays a central role in both angiogenesis and vasculogenesis.
