Silicon substituted hydroxyapatite/VEGF scaffolds stimulate bone regeneration in osteoporotic sheep [PDF]
Silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (SiHA) macroporous scaffolds have been prepared by robocasting. In order to optimize their bone regeneration properties, we have manufactured these scaffolds presenting different microstructures: nanocrystalline and crystalline. Moreover, their surfaces have been decorated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)

The Role of VEGF and VEGF Receptors in Carcinogenesis [PDF]
The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family and its associated cognate receptors are critical components of angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation. Under normal conditions, angiogenesis supports organism development and tissue homeostasis in a tightly controlled fashion.

Synergistic effect of Si-hydroxyapatite coating and VEGF adsorption on Ti6Al4V-ELI scaffolds for bone regeneration in an osteoporotic bone environment [PDF]
The osteogenic and angiogenic responses to metal macroporous scaffolds coated with silicon substituted hydroxyapatite (SiHA) and decorated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Ti6Al4V-ELI scaffolds were prepared by electron beam melting and subsequently coated with Ca10(PO4)5.6(SiO4)0.4(OH)1.6 ...

VEGF and its receptors - formation, structure, and role in the organism
Creating vessels is essential for the development of every organism and the course of repair processes. Under physiological conditions, angiogenesis is a transient and tightly regulated process.

The immunohistochemical landscape of the VEGF family and its receptors in glioblastomas
Background Angiogenesis is one of the hallmarks of cancer. This complex mechanism of tumor progression provides tumors cells with essential nutrients. There have been a limited number of investigations of markers of angiogenesis in Glioblastomas (GBMs ...

Vascular endothelial‐cadherin as a marker of endothelial injury in preclinical Alzheimer disease
Abstract Objective Endothelial dysfunction is an early and prevalent pathology in Alzheimer disease (AD). We here investigate the value of vascular endothelial‐cadherin (VEC) as a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) marker of endothelial injury in preclinical AD.

Mechanism of selective VEGF-A binding by neuropilin-1 reveals a basis for specific ligand inhibition. [PDF]
Neuropilin (Nrp) receptors function as essential cell surface receptors for the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) family of proangiogenic cytokines and the semaphorin 3 (Sema3) family of axon guidance molecules. There are two Nrp homologues, Nrp1

Aflibercept—a Decoy VEGF Receptor [PDF]
Aflibercept (known as ziv-aflibercept in the USA and sold under the trade name Zaltrap®) is a human recombinant fusion protein with antiangiogenic effects that functions as a decoy receptor to bind vascular endothelial growth factors A and B and placental growth factor.

Functional VEGF and VEGF receptors are expressed in human medulloblastomas [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the key regulators of tumor neoangiogenesis. It acts through two types of high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptors (VEGF receptor-1 [VEGFR-1]/fms-related tyrosine kinase 1 [Flt-1] and VEGFR-2/kinase domain receptor [KDR]) expressed on endothelial cells.
