1. Regulation of VEGFR2 signaling in angiogenesis and vascular permeability
Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis and vascular permeability occur in physiological and pathological conditions. Angiogenesis denotes the process of blood vessel formation from preexisting quiescent vessels. LÄS MER
2. Neuropilin-1 regulation of tumor vascularization and growth
Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from existing ones, is dysregulated during tumor progression as a result of chronic hypoxia and inflammation. Such alterations lead to a lack of vessel hierarchy, and the formation of poorly perfused, leaky and blunt-ended vessels, contributing to disease progression. LÄS MER
3. VEGFR-2 in Endothelial Differentiation and Vascular Organization
Sammanfattning : The cardiovascular system is the first functional organ to develop during embryogenesis. As the embryo reaches above a certain size, passive diffusion of gases and nutrients is no longer compatible with efficient growth. LÄS MER
4. Studies in nuclear receptor Nurr1 : identification of Nurr1-regulated genes
Sammanfattning : The nuclear receptor family comprises more than sixty members, including receptors for steroids, thyroid hormone and retinoids. Many nuclear receptors function as ligand- activated transcription factors that regulate the expression of specific target genes. LÄS MER
5. Exploring the role of PDGF-D in health and disease
Sammanfattning : The platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) and their receptors (PDGFRs) regulate growth and migration in cell populations of mesenchymal origin. The PDGF signaling system is vital for development, in neural crest formation, in organogenesis, and in maturation of the microvasculature. In the adult, PDGFs are needed to maintain homeostasis.
