Endothelial cell culture: beginnings of modern vascular biology.
Endothelial cells derived from human umbilical veins were first successfully cultured in vitro in 1973. Weibel-Palade bodies and the von Willebrand factor antigen were used as morphological, immunohistochemical, and functional markers to unequivocally identify the cells. These landmark studies helped initiate the growth of modern vascular biology.
متن کاملVASCULAR BIOLOGY Inhibition of endothelial progenitor cell differentiation by VEGI
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a critical role in postnatal and tumor vasculogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth inhibitor (VEGI; TNFSF15) has been shown to inhibit endothelial cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis. We report here that VEGI inhibits the differentiation of EPCs from mouse bone marrow– derived Sca1 mononuclear cells. Analysis of EPC markers indicates a significant d...

متن کاملRecollections on the Beginnings of The Journal of Cell Biology
If, by cell biology, one means an integrative and interdisciplinary approach, utilizing techniques and concepts of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, genetics, zoology, botany, virology, and microbiology to seek comprehensions of the nature of living cells, one finds that neither the approach nor the term are new, both dating back more than a century. Integrative approaches are clea...
متن کاملThe biology of vascular endothelial growth factors.
The discovery of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family members VEGF, VEGF-B, placental growth factor (PlGF), VEGF-C and VEGF-D and their receptors VEGFR-1, -2 and -3 has provided tools for studying the vascular system in development as well as in diseases ranging from ischemic heart disease to cancer. VEGF has been established as the prime angiogenic molecule during development, ...
