Regulation of membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) by different
extracellular matrices (ECMs) on human endothelial cells (ECs) has been investigated. First …

During wound healing, angiogenesis, and tumor invasion, cells often change their
expression profiles of fibronectin-binding integrins. Here, we show that β1 integrins promote …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) exert both pro-and antiangiogenic functions by the
release of cytokines or proteolytically generated angiogenic inhibitors from extracellular …

Recent advances in cancer biology have emerged important roles for microRNAs (miRNAs)
in regulating tumor responses. However, their function in mediating intercellular …

Abstract CEREBROVASCULAR MALFORMATIONS AFFECT more than 3% of the
population, exposing them to a lifetime risk of hemorrhagic stroke, seizures, and focal …

Background—Neointimal vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation is a primary
cause of occlusive vascular disease, including atherosclerosis, restenosis after …

In recent years, the development of new biomaterials with specifications for tissue and organ
functional requirements—such as proper biological, structural, and biomechanical …

During angiogenic remodeling, Ang-1, the ligand of Tie2 tyrosine kinase, is involved in
vessel sprouting and stabilization through unclear effects on nascent capillaries and mural …

Rationale: Endothelial barrier function depends on the proper localization and function of
the adherens junction protein VE (vascular endothelial)-cadherin. Previous studies have …

Over the last 10–15 years the varied roles of cell adhesion molecules in the development of
new blood vessels have received extensive attention. To date, more than 500 publications …
