Coupling growth-factor engineering with nanotechnology for therapeutic angiogenesis.
Therapeutic angiogenesis is an emerging paradigm for the management of ischemic pathologies. Proangiogenic Therapy is limited, however, by the current inability to deliver angiogenic factors in a sustained manner at the site of pathology. In this study, we investigated a unique nonglycosylated active fragment of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor, 1K1, which acts as a potent angiogenic age...
متن کاملNovel therapeutic approaches for targeting tumor angiogenesis.
Current attempts to disrupt the complex process of tumor blood vessel formation are predominantly focused on targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-VEGFR signaling pathway. Although clinically proven to inhibit VEGF and its receptors, these pharmacologic agents are selective, but not specific. Consequently, many of the approved inhibitors also impair other molecular targets lea...
متن کاملNanotechnology and Neuroscience Convergence: A Novel Tool for Neurotransmitters Monitoring
Since neurotransmitters significantly influence the brain activity, our understanding of the human brain will remain imperfect until all aspects relating to them become clear. One of the key challenges in neuroscience researches and therapies is elucidating the mechanisms by which the neurotransmitter release take place and is regulated in quantity and in time. Despite the enormous number of st...
متن کاملEngineering therapeutic protein disaggregases
Therapeutic agents are urgently required to cure several common and fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by protein misfolding and aggregation, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Protein disaggregases that reverse protein misfolding and restore proteins to native structure, function, and localization could mitigate neurodeg...
متن کاملNanotechnology for Bone and Cartilage Engineering
Bone and cartilage defects remain challenging and common problems for Orthopaedic and Plastic & Reconstructive surgeons today [1]. Autologous bone grafting remains the gold standard to restore bone defects; this is limited by donor site morbidity, tissue availability and resorption or failure of the transplanted bone [1]. Similarly, to restore the cartilaginous framework of the ear or nose, rib...
