Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) regulate blood and lymphatic vessel
development and homeostasis but also have profound effects on neural cells. VEGFs are …

Stroke causes cell death but also birth and migration of new neurons within sites of ischemic
damage. The cellular environment that induces neuronal regeneration and migration after …

Bone marrow-derived cells include haematopoietic cell lineages and the recently described
endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). It has been recently emphasised that these marrow …

Vascular endothelial cells respond to alarm signals of the body by angiogenesis or
inflammation. The balance between these two responses is now pinned to two regulators of …

The Tie receptor tyrosine kinases and their angiopoietin (Ang) ligands play central roles in
developmental and tumor-induced angiogenesis. Here we present the crystal structures of …

We showed previously that blood vessel maturation in the CNS is associated with a
developmental switch in brain capillary endothelial cells (BCEC), from fibronectin signalling …

Liver involvement in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is
characterized by altered remodeling of the embryonic ductal plate (DP) with presence of …

Crosslinked, chemically modified hyaluronan (HA) hydrogels pre-loaded with two cytokine
growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1), were …

Carcinoembryonic antigen–related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), a cellular
adhesion molecule of the Ig superfamily, is associated with early stages of angiogenesis. In …

The progression of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is related to fibrosis and to the emergence of
intrahepatic anomalous vascular structures. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein transactivator …
