Unjamming and nematic flocks in endothelial monolayers during angiogenesis : theoretical and experimental analysis [PDF]
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]
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.

Transcriptional profiling reveals fundamental differences in iPS-derived progenitors of endothelial cells (PECs) versus adult circulating EPCs [PDF]
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.

Shared features of endothelial dysfunction between sepsis and its preceding risk factors (aging and chronic disease) [PDF]
Acute vascular endothelial dysfunction is a central event in the pathogenesis of sepsis,increasing vascular permeability, promoting activation of the coagulation cascade, tissue edema and compromising perfusion of vital organs. Aging and chronic diseases(hypertension,dyslipidaemia,diabetes mellitus,chronic kidney disease,cardiovascular disease ...

The function of vascular endothelial growth factor
AbstractVascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is considered the master regulator of angiogenesis during growth and development, as well as in disease states such as cancer, diabetes, and macular degeneration. This review details our current understanding of VEGF signaling and discusses the benefits and unexpected side effects of promising anti ...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Induces Heparin-binding Epidermal Growth Factor-like Growth Factor in Vascular Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Although several cytokines and growth factors have been shown to regulate vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production, little is known about how VEGF may regulate growth factors that have known mitogenic and chemotactic actions on mesenchymal cells (which are involved in the maturation of the angiogenic process).
