Targeting Microvascular Pericytes in Angiogenic Vessels of Prostate Cancer PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR:
A novel procedure using a polyurethane transducer-tipped catheter (Millar) is described that allows reliable measurement of interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) in cancer tissues. Before and after each use, the transducer is calibrated at 37-C by a water column. After calibration, the transducer is passed through the lumen of a surgical needle. The sensor is kept in the lumen of the needle during ...
متن کاملAngiogenic and Cell Therapies
Since Judah Folkman first described the process of angiogenesis in 1971, much has been learned about the cells, the extracellular factors, and the signaling pathways that modulate the angiogenesis, arteriogenesis, and vasculogenesis. Promising preclinical studies led to trials of angiogenic factors and cell therapies for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the last 2 decades. Early stage trial...
متن کاملAnti-angiogenic therapies for malignant pleural mesothelioma.
INTRODUCTION Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a disease with a dismal prognosis. Currently available treatments have modest results. Therefore, new agents and new treatment strategies are eagerly awaited by patients and clinicians. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that angiogenesis plays a very important role in MPM. Therefore, a great hope has been placed in the use of anti-a...
متن کاملHealing scars: targeting pericytes to treat fibrosis.
Fibrosis, with resultant loss of organ function, is the endpoint of many diseases. Despite this, no effective anti-fibrotic therapies exist. The myofibroblast is the key cell driving fibrosis but its origins remain controversial. A growing body of work provides strong evidence that the pericyte, a perivascular cell present throughout the microvasculature, is a major myofibroblast precursor in m...
متن کاملAnti-angiogenic therapies in brain metastases
Brain metastases are a major challenge in modern oncology, as treatment options upon the diagnosis of symptomatic brain metastases are limited. Neo-angiogenesis was identified as a hallmark of brain metastasis development and inhibition using anti-angiogenic therapy might therefore be an experimental promising preventive as well as therapeutic approach. The current review will summarize the cur...
