Angiogenesis and Its Therapeutic Opportunities
Angiogenesis plays critical roles in human physiology that range from reproduction and fetal growth to wound healing and tissue repair. The sophisticated multistep process is tightly regulated in a spatial and temporal manner by "on-off switch signals" between angiogenic factors, extracellular matrix components, and endothelial cells. Uncontrolled angiogenesis may lead to several angiogenic dis...
متن کاملA Review on Angiogenesis and Its Assays
Angiogenesis or formation of new blood vessels from preexisting vasculature is a key process in some physiological conditions such as wound healing, growth, and action of female reproductive organs. Moreover, disturbance of the mechanisms of physiological angiogenesis has a role in pathogenesis of some diseases in the form of overproliferation of blood vessels such as cancers, psoriasis, arthri...
متن کاملTherapeutic angiogenesis.
Therapeutic angiogenesis constitutes a fundamental survival mechanism that acts to preserve the integrity of tissues subjected to ischemia. Supplemental administration of angiogenic cytokines--as recombinant protein or plasmid DNA--have been shown to augment collateral development when endogenous angiogenesis is suboptimal for organ function, and thus constitute a novel therapeutic option for t...
متن کاملTherapeutic Angiogenesis
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a heparin-binding, endothelial cell-specific mitogen. Previous studies have suggested thatVEGF is a regulator ofnaturally occurring physiologic and pathologic angiogenesis. In this study we investigated the hypothesis that the angiogenic potential of VEGF is sufficient to constitute a therapeutic effect. The soluble 165amino acid isoform ofVEGF was a...
