Pivotal micro factors associated with endothelial cells

Tumor-associated endothelial cells with cytogenetic abnormalities.

Tumor angiogenesis is necessary for solid tumor progression and metastasis. Tumor blood vessels have been shown to differ from normal counterparts, for example, by changes in morphology. An important concept in tumor angiogenesis is that tumor endothelial cells are assumed to be genetically normal, although these endothelial cells are structurally and functionally abnormal. However, we hypothes...

Factors associated with purity, biological function, and activation potential of endothelial colony-forming cells.

Endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) are undergoing extensive investigations to tackle certain deliberating cardiovascular diseases. However, the success of this approach depends on a thorough understanding of ECFC biology. This study sought to determine the factors associated with the purity, biological function, and activation potential of ex vivo expanded ECFCs. Seventy-three patients wi...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiate to Endothelial Cells Using Recombinant Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor –A

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), an endothelial cell-specific mitogen produced by various cell types, plays important roles in cell differentiation and proliferation. In this study we investigated the effect of recombinant VEGF-A on differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to endothelial cells (ECs). Methods: VEGF-A was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and BL21...
