Blood vessel maturation: vascular development comes of age.
are the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate new vessel formation and maturation? This question identifies several fundamental issues of vascular biology related to the development of the vasculature via vasculogene-sis and angiogenesis. Early investigations of vasculature were largely descriptive (1, 2). The advent of methods for the isolation and maintenance of vascular cells in ti...
متن کاملBlood Vessel Regression Research Coming of Age
Blood vessel network formation is a pivotal process of physiological development and pathological conditions such as tumor growth, diabetic retinopathy, and cardiovascular diseases.1,2 During neovascularization, vasculogenesis is followed by the well-described process of sprouting angiogenesis, including tip cell induction and selection, sprout elongation, and stalk formation, leading to the fo...
متن کاملDipping comes of age: the importance of nocturnal blood pressure.
It is now just 21 years since the dipping phenomenon was described in a letter to The Lancet.1 In a cohort of 123 consecutive patients who had ambulatory blood pressure (BP) measurement (ABPM) performed, the majority (83%) were dippers on the basis of having a difference of 10/5 mm Hg between day and nighttime BPs, with 17% being nondippers. The nondippers had a significantly higher frequency o...
متن کاملBlood vessel maturation and response to vascular-disrupting therapy in single vascular endothelial growth factor-A isoform-producing tumors.
Tubulin-binding vascular-disrupting agents (VDA) are currently in clinical trials for cancer therapy but the factors that influence tumor susceptibility to these agents are poorly understood. We evaluated the consequences of modifying tumor vascular morphology and function on vascular and therapeutic response to combretastatin-A4 3-O-phosphate (CA-4-P), which was chosen as a model VDA. Mouse fi...
متن کاملGlyceroneogenesis comes of age.
Glyceroneogenesis is a generally ignored metabolic pathway that occurs in adipose tissues and liver of mammalian species. This short review highlights a series of recent discoveries showing that glyceroneogenesis is important in lipid homeostasis.
