1. Endothelial differentiation and angiogenesis regulation
Abstract : Angiogenesis can be defined as the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. Angiogenesis is required for development and maintenance of our vascular system and thus of fundamental importance to our existence. READ MORE

2. Roles of the Shb and Cbl Proteins in Signal Transduction and Blood Vessel Formation
Abstract : Formation of blood vessels occurs through two processes: vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, which are regulated by various growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor, fibroblast growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor. The present study was carried out in order to investigate the roles of the Shb and Cbl proteins in growth factor-mediated signal transduction and blood vessel formation. READ MORE

3. Molecular Mechanisms in Endothelial Cell Differentiation
Abstract : Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from the pre-existing blood vessels. Blood vessels are composed of endothelial cells and supporting musculature. Angiogenesis is regulated by numerous soluble ligands and by cell-matrix interactions. READ MORE

4. Human Endometrial Angiogenesis : An Immunohistochemical Study of the Endometrial Expression of Angiogenic Growth Factors and Their Corresponding Receptors
Abstract : The human endometrium undergoes dramatic changes in morphology and function during the menstrual cycle. Recurrent angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) is of utmost importance for oxygen supply and nourishment of the rapidly growing endometrial tissue. READ MORE

5. Collateral development in limb ischemia : aspects of endogenous and stimulated arteriogenesis
Abstract : Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is common among elderly and affects about 20% of the population above the age of 60 years. PAD is a strong marker for future cardiovascular events and increased mortality due to widespread atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary and cerebral arteries. READ MORE
