چکیده
The growth of blood vessels (a process known as angiogenesis) is essential for organ growth and repair. An imbalance in this process contributes to numerous malignant, inflammatory, ischaemic, infectious and immune disorders. Recently, the first anti-angiogenic agents have been approved for the treatment of cancer and blindness. Angiogenesis research will probably change the face of medicine in the next decades, with more than 500 million people worldwide predicted to benefit from proor anti-angiogenesis treatments.

Extracellular epitopes of platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha reactive with serum antibodies from patients with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Glycoproteins (GPs) IIb/IIIa and Ib/IX are principal targets of autoantibodies (autoAbs) in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Platelet-associated Abs against GPIIb/IIIa primarily recognize discontinuous or nonlinear epitopes (Fujisawa et al, Blood 81:1284, 1993). This study focused on whether Abs against the extracellular domain of GPIb/IX might react with short linear amino acid (aa) ...
متن کاملStudies on the Entry of Fructose - 2 , 6 - Bisphosphate into Chloroplasts 1
The regulatory metabolite fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6P2) has an important function in controlling the intermediary carbon metabolism of leaves. Fru-2,6-P2 controls two cytosolic enzymes involved in the interconversion of fructose-6-phosphate and fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and pyrophosphate,fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase) and thereby controls the par...
متن کاملStructural insight into DNA binding and oligomerization of the multifunctional Cox protein of bacteriophage P2
The Cox protein from bacteriophage P2 is a small multifunctional DNA-binding protein. It is involved in site-specific recombination leading to P2 prophage excision and functions as a transcriptional repressor of the P2 Pc promoter. Furthermore, it transcriptionally activates the unrelated, defective prophage P4 that depends on phage P2 late gene products for lytic growth. In this article, we ha...
متن کاملDer p2 Internalization by Epithelium Synergistically Augments Toll-like Receptor-Mediated Proinflammatory Signaling
PURPOSE House-dust-mite (HDM) major allergen Der p2 shares homology and function with Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling protein myeloid differentiation-2 (MD2) and may lead to airway inflammation. Should Der p2 be internalized by human airway epithelium, it has the theoretical propensity to potentiate epithelium activation. This study aimed to demonstrate the internalization of Der p2 by airwa...
متن کاملDistribution of ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in Iranian populations
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE; OMIM: 106180) has an important role in the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II and degradation of bradykinin. Genetic polymorphism I/D (rs4646994) in the gene encoding ACE has been well defined. To get more insight into the genetic structure of Iranian populations, the distribution of the ACE I/D polymorphism among Iranians was compared with each ot...
