Background: Ischemic heart disease following the obstruction of coronary vessels leads to
the death of cardiac tissue and the formation of a fibrotic scar. In contrast to adult mammals …

The lymphatic vascular system acts as the major transportation highway of tissue fluids, and
its activation or impairment is associated with a wide range of diseases. There has been …

Zinc (Zn) is necessary for the survival of aquatic organisms; nevertheless, the accumulation
of Zn in excessive amounts may have toxic consequences. Few studies focusing on the …

Recently, the medications used for the severe form of the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-

Angiogenesis occurs during both physiological and pathological processes. In this study, a
microfluidic chip for the development of angiogenesis was utilized to assess angiogenic …

Background Exosomes released from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell
(hucMSC-Ex) have been revealed to hold great potential for the development of new …

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) constitute a large group of cell surface proteins that
mediate communication of cells with extracellular environment. RTKs recognize external …

Although well investigated, the importance of collagen fibers in supporting angiogenesis is
not well understood. In this study, we demonstrate that extracellular collagen fibers provide …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, small (18–23 nucleotides), non-coding RNA
molecules. They regulate the posttranscriptional expression of their target genes. MiRNAs …

Angiogenesis, the formation of new capillaries from pre-existing vascular networks, plays an
important role in many physiological and pathological processes. The use of pro-angiogenic …
