Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)–dependent recruitment of mural cells such as
pericytes and smooth muscle cells plays a central role in the maturation and stabilization of …

Most cancers are dependent on the growth of tumor blood vessels and inhibition of tumor
angiogenesis may thus provide an efficient strategy to retard or block tumor growth …

Previous studies have shown that an increased intake of dietary flavonoids is associated
with a decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). PDGF is a major mitogen for …

The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
receptors play essential and complementary roles in angiogenesis and combined inhibition …

Epidemiological studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables has a beneficial
preventive effect on cardiovascular diseases and cancer by mechanisms that have not yet …

Abnormal proliferation, migration, and phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle
cells (VSMCs) are critical factors in neointima formation during restenosis. The purpose of …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) result from the sub-endothelial accumulation of
inflammatory cells and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Lycopene, a natural compound from …

Pelargonidin is a natural red pigment found in fruits and vegetables, and has been reported
to exhibit various effects potentially beneficial for human health. However, the possible …

Background Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent stimulator of growth and
motility of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Abnormalities of PDGF/PDGF receptor …

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) has been known to induce vascular endothelial
growth factor (VEGF) expression in human vascular smooth muscle cells (hVSMCs). We …
