  2. 6. Myofibroblasts and the Vascular Endothelium : Impact of Fibrin Degradation Products and miRNA on Vascular Motility and Function

    Author : Peder Fredlund Fuchs; Pär Gerwins; Johan Kreuger; Arne Östman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Angiogenesis; Vascular biology; Chemotaxis; Endothelial cell; Myofibroblast; Wound healing; miRNA; Heparan sulfate; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature and is important during development as well as wound healing and tissue remodeling. Angiogenesis also occurs during pathological conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and cancer. READ MORE

  4. 7. Angiogenic growth factors : mechanism of action and function in vascular development

    Author : Charlotte Rolny; Andrius Kazlauskas; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Molecular medicine; PDGF-BB; VEGF; angiogenesis; hypoxia; migration; heparin; Molekylärmedicin; Molecular medicine genetics and pathology ; Molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; Molecular Medicine; molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ;

    Abstract : The mature vascular system is composed of a network of blood vessels organized into arteries, capillaries, and veins. The vessels are composed of endothelial cells surrounded by smooth muscle cells and embedded in a specialized basement membrane. READ MORE

  5. 8. Fibroblast growth factor- and vascular endothelial growth factor-induced signal transduction in angiogenesis

    Author : Eva Landgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : .... READ MORE

  6. 9. Tumor angiogenesis. Regulation of mural cell recruitment and endothelial sprouting

    Author : Alexandra Abramsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Angiogenesis; tumor; retina; PDGF; VEGF; platelet-derived growth factor; guidance; vascular endothelial growth factor.;

    Abstract : The formation of new blood vessels is an inherent part of many physiological and pathological processes. Currently, there is a strong hope pathological situations like stroke, diabetic retinopathy and cancer may be affected by pharmacological regulators of blood vessel formation. READ MORE

  7. 10. Functional genomics of vascular endothelial cells

    Author : Elisabet Wallgard; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Vasculature; endothelial cells; angiogenesis; vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF ; Notch; transcriptome; genomics; microarray; tumor; retina; morpholino knockdown;

    Abstract : Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting ones, is a process involved in normal development as well as in several pathological conditions, such as cancer, ischemic heart disease, wound healing and certain retinal complications. Antiangiogenic targeting is therefore a promising new therapeutic principle. READ MORE
