Angiogenesis is the growth of blood vessels from the existing vasculature. The field of
angiogenesis has grown enormously in the past 30 years, with only 40 papers published in …

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disease that can cause blindness in very low
birthweight infants. The incidence of ROP is closely correlated with the weight and the …

Background There is growing awareness that tumour cells build up a “self-advantageous”
microenvironment that reduces effectiveness of anti-tumour immune response. While many …

Vascular permeability factor (VPF), variously known as a vascular endothelial growth factor
(VEGF) and vasculotropin (VAS), is a multifunctional cytokine with important roles in …

抄録 In this review, after a summary of the history and current status of the receptors involved
in purinergic signalling, we focus on the distribution and physiological roles of purines and …

However, in most cases, thrombus formation proceeds faster than vascular growth and
infarcts develop. In many cases, collaterals, although they cannot prevent infarction in the …

Evidence for the role of purinergic signaling (via P1 and P2Y receptors) in the proliferation of
vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells is reviewed. The involvement of the mitogen …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a secreted polypeptide and plays a pivotal role
in angiogenesis in vivo. However, it also increases vascular permeability, and might …

Background and Purpose Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a mitogen for
endothelial cells and also has the potential to increase vascular permeability. Therefore, it …
