background: pancreatic islet transplantation has emerged as a promising treatment for type i diabetes. however, its efficacy is severely hampered due to poor islet engraftment and revascularization, which have been resulted to partially loss of transplanted islets. it has been shown that local delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) could accelerate transplanted islet revasculariz...

the aim of this study was to investigate the response of vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) to a bout of exhausted submaximal exercise and its correlation with vo2max in different bouts. therefore, 12 active men (mean age: 24 years) were randomly selected and performed the submaximal exercise. blood samples were collected before, immediately and two¬¬ hours after the exercise training. d...

Abstract Background About 90% of cancer-related deaths are due to metastasis cancer cells, and angiogenesis is a critical step in this process. sFLT01 novel fusion protein dual-targeting agent that neutralizes both VEGF PlGF proangiogenic activities. GRP78 dual effect tumor growth could be activated under stimulation. The current study was designed investigate the inhibitory impact on VEGF/GRP7...

We evaluated the effects of zoledronic acid (ZOL) on human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) associated with wound healing in oral soft tissues. HGFs HUVECs were divided into two groups: a culture media control group exposed to ZOL (50 μM). Cell proliferation was measured after 2, 4, 6, 8 days. The migration ability for each experiment using assay. apopto...

Wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) is the most common cause of blindness, and chronic intravitreal injection anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) proteins has been dominant therapeutic approach. Less a prolonged inter-injection interval are main drivers behind new wet AMD drug innovations. By rationally engineering surface residues model anti-VEGF nanobody, we obtained ser...

Anti-VEGF therapy has been used as the anti-angiogenic agent in cancer treatment. However, treatment often couples with severe complications. Complementary natural products that offer similar potency less side effects are sought alternatives. Study showed Malaysian Tualang Honey (MTH) can inhibit inflammation-induced vascular hyperpermeability vitro and vivo, but effect on angiogenesis process ...

Physical exercise improves learning and memory abilities by increasing the levels of several growth factors in hippocampus. One factor, vascular endothelial factor (VEGF), is primarily produced muscles not only increases periphery during but can also cross blood-brain barrier. The aim this study to investigate effects regular aerobic chronic on different types muscle fibers relationships betwee...

BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which affects tumor angiogenesis, is expressed as different splice variants, including the major isoforms VEGF(165) and VEGF(121), and can be cleaved by plasmin to generate VEGF(110). The amount of VEGF(121) and VEGF(110) in biological samples has not been well studied. METHODS We developed an ELISA that detects VEGF(165) and VEGF(121) equ...
