Review Article-Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion in the Light of Anti-angiogenic Therapy [PDF]
Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is one of the most common causes of acquired retinal vascular abnormality in adults and a frequent cause of visual loss. This circulatory disorder leads to retinal ischemia, which then induces up regulation of various

Statins and the vasculopathy of systemic sclerosis: potential therapeutic agents? [PDF]
It has been postulated that endothelial cell injury is the initiating event in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis, causing attraction, attachment, migration and infiltration of activated T-cells and subsequent production of cytokines and growth ...

Particle-based simulation of ellipse-shaped particle aggregation as a model for vascular network formation [PDF]
Computational modelling is helpful for elucidating the cellular mechanisms driving biological morphogenesis. Previous simulation studies of blood vessel growth based on the Cellular Potts model (CPM) proposed that elongated, adhesive or mutually attractive endothelial cells suffice for the formation of blood vessel sprouts and vascular networks ...

Peripheral blood proteome biomarkers distinguish immunosuppressive features of cancer progression
Immune status significantly influences cancer progression. This study used plasma proteomics to analyze benign 67NR and malignant 4T1 breast tumor models at early and late tumor stages. Immune‐related proteins–osteopontin (Spp1), lactotransferrin (Ltf), calreticulin (Calr) and peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2)–were associated with systemic myeloid‐derived ...

Myc Regulates Embryonic Vascular Permeability and Remodeling [PDF]
Previous work has shown that c-Myc is required for adequate vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. To further investigate the contribution of Myc to these processes, we conditionally expressed c-Myc in embryonic endothelial cells using a tetracycline-regulated

Interplay of integrins and selectins in metastasis
Here we review the role of integrins and their interplay with selectins in metastasis. The efficacy of integrin‐targeted therapies may be reduced in tumors where metastasis relies heavily on selectins. In certain tumors, integrins and selectins exhibit a synergistic interaction during intraperitoneal dissemination.

Inhibitory effect on expression of angiogenic factors by antiangiogenic agents in renal cell carcinoma [PDF]
Since it has been widely recognised that renal cell carcinoma is refractory to standard therapies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, a new modality of treatment is needed.

Fibroblast growth factor/fibroblast growth factor receptor system in angiogenesis. [PDF]
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of heparin-binding growth factors. FGFs exert their pro-angiogenic activity by interacting with various endothelial cell surface receptors, including tyrosine kinase receptors, heparan-sulfate proteoglycans ...
