Retinal neovascularization (NV) and macular edema, resulting from blood‐retinal barrier
(BRB) breakdown, are major causes of visual loss in ischemic retinopathies. Choroidal NV …

Abstract THE PAST DECADE has seen considerable advances in the understanding of
angiogenesis. Blood vessel development and growth in the central nervous system are …

Adenosine is present in all cells and body fluids and has been suggested to play several
roles in the physiology of ocular tissues. The present study was undertaken to determine …

BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypoplasia accompanied by pulmonary hypertension resistant
to treatment is an important feature of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The …

Elevation of intracellular glucose within retinal vascular cells is believed to be an important
causal factor in the development of diabetic retinopathy. The intracellular glucose …

Wound healing and tissue repair are critical processes, and adenosine, released from
injured or ischemic tissues, plays an important role in promoting wound healing and tissue …

The purpose of this study was to examine the regulation of adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR)
gene expression during hypoxia in pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Northern blot analysis …

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a common retinal disease in preterm babies. To prolong
the lives of preterm babies, high oxygen is provided to mimic the oxygen level in the …

Historically, interest in the therapeutic implications of angiogenesis has centered on the
inhibition of new vascular growth to retard the spread of cancer [1, 2]. More recently …

Purinergic signalling is important both in short-term control of vascular tone and in longer-
term control of cell proliferation, migration and death involved in vascular remodelling. There …
