1. Directing Angiogenesis : Cellular Responses to Gradients in vitro
Sammanfattning : Blood vessels are essential for the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to tissues, as well as for the removal of waste products. Patients with tumors, wounds or diabetes all have active angiogenesis, formation and remodeling of blood vessels, a process that is initiated and manipulated by gradients of secreted signaling proteins.

2. On angiogenesis modulation
Sammanfattning : During evolution, the transition from unicellular to multicellular organisms required the origin of a transport system capable of interconnecting specialized cells throughout the body of the organism. In higher animals, this route of transportation is the cardiovascular system, which allows gas exchange, and transport of immune cells, hormones, macromolecules, nutrients and waste products. LÄS MER
3. Regulation of Angiogenesis
Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. New blood vessel formation is fundamental in processes such as reproduction, embryonic development and wound healing. Growth of neoplasms is accompanied by increased angiogenesis. This thesis describes cellular and molecular mechanisms of importance for angiogenesis. LÄS MER
4. Experimental therapies of malignant glioma : with emphasis on angiogenesis inhibition
Sammanfattning : Malignant glioma consists of a group of diseases where the localisation and the nature of the disease makes treatment an extreme challenge. Two important biological features of malignant glioma cells are their infiltrative growth and their ability to induce angiogenesis. LÄS MER
5. The Human Endometrium : Studies on Angiogenesis and Endometriosis
Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis is thought to play a pivotal role in the cycling endometrium. Coordinated by oestrogen and progesterone, endometrial blood vessel development is primarily mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), which promotes endothelial cell (EC) proliferation and protects ECs from induced apoptosis.
