These substances target an immense number of receptors and membrane proteins with high affinity, selectivity and potency, and can serve as potential drugs or scaffolds for drug design. Oren Bogi...
متن کاملViper venom components affecting angiogenesis.
Angiogenesis is a complex process consisting of the proliferation, migration and differentiation of endothelial cells, and it is essential for the progression of malignant solid tumors. In this report, we examine the effects of disintegrins (e.g. rhodostomin and accutin) and glycoprotein-lb-binding proteins (e.g. agkistin) on each step in angiogenesis using in vitro and in vivo models. Rhodosto...
