  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. Exercise and angiogenic growth factors in human skeletal muscle

    Author : Thomas Gustafsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adapatation; angiogenesis; angiogenic growth factors; blood flow; gene expression; gene regulation; human; ischaemia; skeletal muscle; training;

    Abstract : Long-term electrical stimulation and endurance exercise increase the amount of capillaries in skeletal muscle. VEGF-A is a well-characterized stimulatory angiogenic growth factor and has shown to play an important role in angiogenesis in pathological conditions in humans and in physiological conditions in animal models.

  5. 3. Interaction of Heparan Sulfate with Pro- and Anti-Angiogenic Proteins

    Author : Maarten Vanwildemeersch; Dorothe Spillmann; Ulf Lindahl; Anders Aspberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; heparan sulfate; angiogenesis; fibroblast growth factors; endostatin; histidine-rich glycoprotein; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Heparan sulfate (HS) is an unbranched and negatively charged polysaccharide of the glycosaminoglycan family, based on the repeated (GlcNAcα1-4GlcAβ1-4) disaccharide structure. The HS backbone is modified by epimerization and sulfation in various positions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Functional characterization of pro-angiogenic neutrophils

    Author : Jalal Lomei; Mia Phillipson; Gustaf Christoffersson; Johan Kreuger; Lars Olaf Cardell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; angiogenesis; leukocytes; neutrophils; pro-angiogenic neutrophils; islets transplantation; intravital microscopy; aortic ring assay; phagocytosis; ROS production; hypoxia; vascular permeability; neutrophil recruitment; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The vascular system stretches throughout the body to provide oxygen, nutrition, and to remove waste products from cell metabolism. Angiogenesis, formation of new blood vessels by sprouting from pre-existing vessels, is one of the main mechanisms involved in blood vessel formation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Human Endometrial Angiogenesis : An Immunohistochemical Study of the Endometrial Expression of Angiogenic Growth Factors and Their Corresponding Receptors

    Author : Björn Möller; Matts Olovsson; Bo Lindblom; Kristina Gemzell-Danielsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Human endometrium; angiogenesis; menstrual cycle; endothelial cells; immunohistochemistry; western blot; VEGF; VEGFR; FGF-2; FGFR; EGF; EGFR; levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin;

    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
