Angiogenesis is a complex process that includes recruitment and proliferation of mural cells—
smooth muscle cells (SMC) and pericytes. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has …

Optimal angiogenic and lymphangiogenic gene therapy requires knowledge of the best
growth factors for each purpose. We studied the therapeutic potential of human vascular …

Angiogenesis, the growth of a network of blood vessels, is a crucial component of solid
tumor growth, linking the relatively harmless avascular and the potentially fatal vascular …

Placental growth factor (PlGF) competes with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for
binding to VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-1 but does not bind VEGFR2. Experiments show that …

We investigate the impact of microvascular geometry on the transport of drugs in solid
tumors, focusing on the diffusion and consumption phenomena. We embrace recent …

The angiogenic effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has typically been
assessed by indirect methods, including microsphere injection and angiography. Here, we …

The critical role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression levels in
developmental angiogenesis is well established. Nonetheless, the effects of different local …

The seeding density of therapeutic cells in engineered tissue impacts both cell survival and
vascularization. Excessively high seeded cell densities can result in increased death and …

Growth factors, such as VEGF, promote the sprouting of new blood vessels. Growth factors
are generally produced far from the endothelium, and the transport of these proteins is often …

Angiogenesis, the formation of new bloods vessels from the existing vasculature, is a
process that is essential during development and regeneration of tissues, and that plays a …
