  1. 6. Tumor angiogenesis. Regulation of mural cell recruitment and endothelial sprouting

    Författare :Alexandra Abramsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Angiogenesis; tumor; retina; PDGF; VEGF; platelet-derived growth factor; guidance; vascular endothelial growth factor.;

    Sammanfattning : The formation of new blood vessels is an inherent part of many physiological and pathological processes. Currently, there is a strong hope pathological situations like stroke, diabetic retinopathy and cancer may be affected by pharmacological regulators of blood vessel formation. LÄS MER

  3. 7. The Roles of Growth Factor Interactions and Mechanical Tension in Angiogenesis

    Författare :Ludvig Petersson; Pär Gerwins; Filip Farnebo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :angiogenesis; myofibroblast; wound healing; VEGF; FGF; PDGF; endocan; endothelial cell; vascularization; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting ones through creation of new vessel branch points by sprouting or vessel splitting, is an important part of tissue growth in both physiological processes like wound healing and pathological conditions such as cancer. Growth factors like VEGF-A, FGF-2 and PDGF-BB are involved in both types of angiogenesis. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Angiogenic growth factors : mechanism of action and function in vascular development

    Författare :Charlotte Rolny; Andrius Kazlauskas; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Molecular medicine; PDGF-BB; VEGF; angiogenesis; hypoxia; migration; heparin; Molekylärmedicin; Molecular medicine genetics and pathology ; Molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; Molecular Medicine; molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ;

    Sammanfattning : The mature vascular system is composed of a network of blood vessels organized into arteries, capillaries, and veins. The vessels are composed of endothelial cells surrounded by smooth muscle cells and embedded in a specialized basement membrane. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Modulation of Angiogenesis by Laminins and Heparan Sulfate

    Författare :Lars Jakobsson; Lena Claesson-Welsh; Johan Kreuger; Elisabetta Dejana; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Molecular medicine; Embryonic stem; heparan sulfate; laminin; basement membrane; VEGFR-2; VEGF; endothelial cell; signaling; angiogenesis; vasculogenesis; embryoid body; Molekylärmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Blood vessels transport blood with essential nutrients and oxygen to the cells in our body. In a healthy adult, formation of new vessels (angiogenesis) occurs only in case of tissue repair and growth. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Androgen controlled regulatory systems in prostate cancer : potential new therapeutic targets and prognostic markers

    Författare :Peter Hammarsten; Anders Bergh; Stina Häggström Rudolfsson; Pernilla Wikström; Sten Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; prostate cancer; angiogenesis; human biopsy; androgen ablation; castration; prognostic marker; prognostic factor; growth control; VEGF; vascular endothelial growth factor; EGFR; epidermal growth factor receptor; pEGFR; phosphorylated EGFR; phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor; Pathology; Patologi;

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is by far the most common cancer among Swedish men. Some patients have an aggressive lethal disease, but the majority of affected men have long expected survival. Unfortunately, the diagnostic tools available are insufficient in predicting disease aggressiveness. Novel prognostic markers are therefore urgently needed. LÄS MER
