PURPOSE: To determine the mechanistic role for adenosine and adenosine receptors in the
hypoxic induction of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in retinal microvascular cells …

J. Neurochem.(2010) 112, 66–76. Abstract Beta‐amyloid peptides (Aβ) are the major
constituents of senile plaques and cerebrovascular deposits in the brains of Alzheimer's …

The eye contains highly vascularised and completely avascular tissues in close apposition.
This specialised anatomy requires tight regulation of the balance between vascular …

Recent progress in our understanding of the unique role of A 2B receptors in the regulation
of inflammation, immunity, and tissue repair was considerably facilitated with the introduction …

Recent reports indicate that circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) may be recruited
to sites of neovascularization where they differentiate into endothelial cells (EC). As we have …

Adenosine is a local hormone, with numerous tissue‐specific biological functions. In the
myocardium, adenosine is released in small amounts at constant basal rate during …

Isolation-induced ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) are emitted by young rat pups when
isolated from their dam and conspecifics. These USVs play an important role in …

OBJECTIVE: Therapeutic cerebral angiogenesis, ie, using angiogenic factors to enhance
collateral vessel formation within the central nervous system, is a potential method for …

We postulated that mobilization, homing, and engraftment of hematopoietic stem/progenitor
cells (HSCPs) is facilitated by a state of sterile inflammation induced in bone marrow (BM) …

Adenosine is a ubiquitous molecule that is produced predominantly by catabolism of
adenosine triphosphate. Levels of this nucleoside increase dramatically with ischemia and …
