Retinal and choroidal angiogenesis: a review of new targets
Retinal and choroidal neovascularization are a major cause of significant visual impairment, worldwide. Understanding the various factors involved in the accompanying physiopathology is vital for development of novel treatments, and most important, for ...

Development of a Computationally Optimized Model of Cancer-induced Angiogenesis through Specialized Cellular Mechanics [PDF]
Angiogenesis, the development of new vasculature, is a critical process in the growth of new tumors. Driven by a goal to understand this aspect of cancer proliferation, I develop a discrete computationally optimized mathematical model of angiogenesis that specializes in intercellular interactions.

Deterministic and stochastic aspects of VEGF-A production and the cooperative behavior of tumoral cell colony [PDF]
A model is proposed to study the process of hypoxia-induced angiogenesis in cancer cells. The model accounts for the role played by the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A in regulating the oxygen intake. VEGF-A is dynamically controlled by the HIF-1alpha concentration. If not degraded, HIF-1alpha can bind to the subunit termed HIF-1beta and so

A Spatial Model of Tumor-Host Interaction: Application of Chemotherapy [PDF]
In this paper we consider chemotherapy in a spatial model of tumor growth. The model, which is of reaction-diffusion type, takes into account the complex interactions between the tumor and surrounding stromal cells by including densities of endothelial cells and the extra-cellular matrix.

Protein growth factors and myocardial remodeling in hypertension in men with psoriasis
Background. Protein growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor and insulin-like growth factor are involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension and psoriasis, and endothelial dysfunction is also noted in these diseases.

Immunohistochemical expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in orofacial lesions – A review
Angiogenesis is considered to be an important biological process in disease progression and tumorigenesis. Among the various factors associated with angiogenesis, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a leading candidate.
