... Intraocular angiogenesis mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the related ocular disease, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is the leading cause of loss of vision worldwide. Though anti-VEGF antibodies are used to control AMD, administration of high doses or frequent dosing, and poor ocular retention of the drug adversely affect the patient outcomes. Herein, we report th ...
... Microvascular diseases are among the most clinically important diseases, and vascular abnormalities are central in the development of such diseases. Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis, exerts antiangiogenic effects without affecting the structure and function of normal blood vessels. PEDF also has neurotrophic effects, which may be a potential direction fo ...

Abstract:
... Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can exert different functions and can be used in several medical fields. In the last years, MSC properties have been attributed to their secreted factors such as soluble proteins, cytokines and growth factors. Moreover, a key role is played by the extracellular vesicles (EVs) which lead a heterogeneous cargo of proteins, lipids and small and long non-coding RNAs that ...

Abstract:
... Autologous fat grafting offers significant promise for the repair of soft tissue deformities; however, high resorption rates indicate that engineered solutions are required to improve adipose tissue (AT) survival. Advances in material development and biofabrication have laid the foundation for the generation of functional AT constructs; however, a balance needs to be struck between clinically feas ...

Abstract:
... Vascular dysfunction can lead to a variety of fatal diseases, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, and cancer. Although a large number of studies have reported the therapeutic effects of natural compounds on vascular‐related diseases, ginseng is still the focus of research. Ginseng and its active substances have bioactive effects against different diseases wit ...

Abstract:
... Fetal human brain stem cell niches that contain multipotent neural progenitors are progressively vascularized during development. Crouch et al. (Crouch et al., 2022) report endothelial and mural lineage trajectories that build developing prenatal vascular in second trimester fetal brain. This cerebral angiogenesis in neural progenitor zones occurs simultaneously with and can promote neurogenesis. ...

Abstract:
... Timely restoration of blood supply following ischemia is critical to rescue damaged tissue. However, clinical efficacy is hampered by the inflammatory response after ischemia. Whether inflammation fine tunes the angiogenesis and the function of blood vessels via the heterogeneity of neutrophils remain poorly understood. Herein, the objective of this work is to incorporate the growth factors secret ...

Abstract:
... Multi-omics technologies are being increasingly utilized in angiogenesis research. Yet, computational methods have not been widely used for angiogenic target discovery and prioritization in this field, partly because (wet-lab) vascular biologists are insufficiently familiar with computational biology tools and the opportunities they may offer. With this review, written for vascular biologists who ...

Abstract:
... The treatment of chronic wounds is still a challenge worldwide. Here, inspired by mechanically induced embryonic wound healing, we design a mechanically active small intestinal submucosa based hydrogel (SIS-PNIPAm). The mechanical activity, biocompatibility, and bioactivity (angiogenesis and immunoregulation) of the SIS-PNIPAm hydrogel enable the fast healing of diabetic rat full-thickness wounds. ...

Abstract:
... Hydrogels can be designed as scaffolds in bone tissue engineering for more efficient healing of bone defects. Bone regeneration hydrogels have attracted extensive attention because of their good biocompatibility and excellent ability in promoting bone regeneration. This review will introduce the methods of bone regeneration hydrogels in the treatment of bone defects. Namely, promoting differentiat ...

Abstract:
... Expanding on previous demonstrations of the therapeutic effects of adeno‐associated virus (AAV) carrying small‐hairpin RNA (shRNA) in downregulating the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) in in vivo retinal vascular disorders, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)‐stimulated endothelial cells were treated with AAV2‐shmTOR to examine the role of mTOR inhibition in retinal angiogenesis. AAV2 ...
angiogenesis, etc ; cartilage; hydrogels; lipids; microfluidic technology; nanoparticles; nose; oxygen; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Cartilage is an important tissue that is widely found in joints, ears, nose and other organs. The limited capacity to regenerate makes cartilage reconstruction an urgent clinical demand. Due to the avascular nature of cartilage, we hypothesized that inhibition of vascularization contributes to cartilage formation. Here, we used VEGFa siRNA to inhibit the infiltration of the local vascular system. ...

Abstract:
... Angiogenesis is crucial for tumor development and metastasis. Regulation of tumor-associated angiogenesis appears to be a promising strategy for limiting the growth of tumours. The tumor microenvironment encompasses several signalling molecules and pathways that modulate angiogenesis including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). LncRNAs are a group of endogenous RNAs that are longer than 200 nucleotid ...

Abstract:
... Intraperitoneal implantation of ovarian cancer (OC) decreases the survival rate in clinical practice. However, there are still great deficiencies in the therapeutic strategies of inhibiting the metastasis of OC. Here, we showed that 4-octyl itaconate (OI, a cell-permeable itaconate derivative) treatment didn't influence the development of OC in vitro. Instead, OI treatment repressed the activation ...

Abstract:
... Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are expressed aberrantly in several malignancies, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), where linc-ROR expression was found to be elevated. Being a hallmark of malignant tumors, angiogenesis has prompted us to investigate the impact of linc-ROR on NPC angiogenesis. This study demonstrates that linc-ROR is substantially expressed in serum exosomes from ...

Abstract:
... In large bone defects, inadequate vascularization within the engineered constructs has been a major challenge in developing clinically impactful products. It is fairly determined that bone tissues and blood vessels are established concurrently throughout tissue repairs after an injury. Thus, the coupling of angiogenesis–osteogenesis is an essential course of action in bone tissue restoration. The ...

Abstract:
... Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a type of main microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and an important factor that causes blindness in adults. SOX4 is a transcription factor expressed in the pancreas and is essential for normal endocrine pancreatic development. However, the effect and the regulatory mechanism of SOX4 on DR have not been reported. In the present study, upregulation of SO ...

Abstract:
... Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a major component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and play an important role in tumor progression. MSCs remodel the extracellular matrix, participate in the epithelial–mesenchymal transition, promote the spread of metastases, and inhibit antitumor immune responses in the TME; however, there are also data pertaining to the antitumor effects of MSCs. MSCs activa ...

Abstract:
... Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate (ITC) derived from a glucosinolate, glucoraphinin found in cruciferous vegetables. There are few studies that focus on the role of SFN in angiogenesis under hypoxic conditions. The effect of SFN on angiogenesis and the underlying mechanisms including the roles of Nrf2 and mitochondrial dynamics were investigated using cultured human umbilical vein endothelia ...

The HBC/DBs/DOXY composite hydrogel had significant inhibitory activity against S. aureus (100%) and E. coli (98%). In addition, the HBC/DBs/DOXY hydrogel showed minimum cytotoxicity on L929 cells in vitro, indicating the great biocompatibility of t ...
