Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels out of existing vessels, is a complex and
tightly regulated process. It is executed by the cells that cover the inner surface of the …

The growth of new blood vessels out of the pre-existing vasculature, ie, angiogenesis, is
executed by endothelial cells that normally form the inner lining of blood vessels. During …

Angiogenesis, the growth of new capillaries from preexisting blood vessels, is a complex
process involving endothelial cell (EC) activation, disruption of vascular basement …

Galectin-9 consists of two peptide-linked carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs), but
alternative splicing and proteolytic processing can give rise to multiple galectin-9 isoforms …

Although cells constantly adapt to external humoral cues, like cytokines and hormones, in
practice, most cellular behavior is under locally guided control, via cell–cell interactions. The …

The expansion of solid tumors depends on the continuous ingrowth of new blood vessels
out of pre-existing capillaries. Consequently, tumor neovascularization or tumor …

Galectins are an ancient family of β-galactoside-specific lectins and consist of 15 different
types, each with a specific function. They play a role in the immune system, inflammation …

Ocular neovascularization can affect almost all the tissues of the eye: the cornea, the iris, the
retina, and the choroid. Pathological neovascularization is the underlying cause of vision …

Platelets contribute to vessel formation through the release of angiogenesis-modulating
factors stored in their α-granules. Galectins, a family of lectins that bind β-galactoside …

Galectins are a family of animal lectins comprising 15 members in vertebrates. These
proteins are involved in many biological processes including epithelial homeostasis and …
