KDR (VEGF Receptor 2) Is the Major Mediator for the Hypotensive Effect of VEGF [PDF]

Hypertension, 2002
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) exerts vasodilation-induced hypotension as a major side effect for treatment of ischemic diseases. VEGF has 2 receptor tyrosine kinases, KDR and Flt-1. Little is known about which receptor mediates VEGF-induced hypotension.

Engineered Peptides‐Based Hybrid‐Nested Microneedle Effectively Treat Biofilm‐Infected Diabetic Wounds

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid‐nested microneedle/cryogel scaffold (MQW‐CMg‐MOF) is designed for efficient biofilm removal and accelerated healing of diabetic wounds. The scaffold shows substantial biofilm removal in vitro and in a preclinical diabetic swine biofilm‐infected wound model compared to the control.

Stable, Easy‐to‐Handle, Fully Autologous Electrospun Polymer‐Peptide Skin Equivalent for Severe Burn Injuries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A bioengineered skin equivalent composed of electrospun poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) and the bioactive peptide Fmoc‐FRGD is developed for severe burn treatment. This scaffold promotes full‐thickness skin regeneration by supporting cellular adhesion and integration. In‐vitro and in‐vivo studies show enhanced mechanical stability, accelerated wound closure,

Detection in Molecular Communications with Ligand Receptors under Molecular Interference [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Molecular Communications (MC) is a bio-inspired communication technique that uses molecules to transfer information among bio-nano devices. In this paper, we focus on the detection problem for biological MC receivers employing ligand receptors to infer the transmitted messages encoded into the concentration of molecules, i.e., ligands.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptors expression and microvascular density in benign and malignant thyroid diseases

International journal of experimental pathology (Print), 2007
Angiogenesis is critical for the growth and metastatic spread of tumours. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the most potent inducer of neovasculature, and its increased expression has been related to a worse clinical outcome in many diseases ...

Supercritical Fluid‐Processed Multifunctional Hybrid Decellularized Extracellular Matrix with Chitosan Hydrogel for Improving Photoaged Dermis Microenvironment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
These findings advance tissue repair by offering a multifunctional filler that improves large‐scale volume retention, elasticity, and support for vascularized tissue growth. The decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)‐based material provides low injection force and minimizes swelling, ensuring sustained volume. Combining CMC with supercritical fluid‐

Expression profiles of VEGF-A, VEGF-D and VEGFR1 are higher in distant metastases than in matched primary high grade epithelial ovarian cancer

BMC Cancer, 2019
Background In many malignancies including ovarian cancer, different angiogenic factors have been related to poor prognosis. However, data on their relations to each other or importance as a prognostic factor in ovarian cancer is missing.

A mathematical model for growth of solid tumors and combination therapy with an application to colorectal cancer [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
We present a mathematical model, based on ordinary differential equations, for the evolution of solid tumors and their response to treatment. Specifically the effects of a cytotoxic agent and a monoclonal antibody are included as control term in the equations.

3D Microtumors Representing Ovarian Cancer Minimal Residual Disease Respond to the Fatty Acid Oxidation Inhibitor Perhexiline

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Minimal residual disease (MRD) leads to cancer relapse and poor survival in ovarian cancer. The lack of representative 3D models limits therapy development. The microfluidics‐based high throughput 3D microtumor platform described here generates clinically‐relevant MRD models. The 3D microtumors recapitulate the molecular signatures of MRD from patients.

A Novel 3D High‐Throughput Phenotypic Drug Screening Pipeline to Identify Drugs with Repurposing Potential for the Treatment of Ovarian Cancer

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Ovarian cancer's high recurrence and therapy resistance demand new strategies. A high‐throughput drug screening pipeline using 3D spheroids, which showed poor concordance with 2D models, identified rapamycin as a promising candidate. In combination with cisplatin, rapamycin demonstrated significant in vitro and in vivo efficacy, highlighting the ...
