Genes & Development, 1999 The term ‘vasculogenesis’ refers to the earliest stages of vascular development, during which vascular endothelial cell precursors undergo differentiation, expansion, and coalescence to form a network of primitive tubules (Risau 1997).

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective This study analyzed longitudinal trajectories of soluble Flt1 (sFlt1) levels, placenta growth factor (PlGF) levels, and sFlt1:PlGF ratios in a cohort of pregnant patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Blood samples were collected (14–18, 24–26, 30–32, 34–36, and 38–40 weeks), stored at −80°C, and evaluated for serum levels ...

The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family: angiogenic factors in health and disease
Genome Biology, 2005 SummaryVascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are a family of secreted polypeptides with a highly conserved receptor-binding cystine-knot structure similar to that of the platelet-derived growth factors. VEGF-A, the founding member of the family, is

Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐

Osteoprotegerin is a new regulator of inflammation and angiogenesis in proliferative diabetic retinopathy [PDF]
, 2003 Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a novel regulator of endothelial cell function, angiogenesis, and vasculogenesis. We correlated expression levels of OPG with those of the angiogenic and inflammatory factors vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and monocyte

Platelets Prime Hematopoietic-Vascular Niche to Drive Angiocrine-Mediated Liver Regeneration [PDF]
, 2017 A critical function for blood vessels is that they secrete paracrine factors necessary for development, homeostasis and repair of the rest of all organs. Among them, the liver is a highly vascular organ, and can undergo regeneration after injury.
