Complementary actions of VEGF and Angiopoietin-1 on blood vessel growth and leakage*

Thurston, Gavin

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Angiopoietins are families of vascular-specific growth factors that regulate blood vessel growth, maturation and function. To learn more about the...

Inhibition of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Signaling in Cancer Causes Loss of Endothelial Fenestrations, Regression of Tumor Vessels, and Appearance of Basement Membrane Ghosts

Inai, Tetsuichiro, Mancuso, Michael, Hashizume, Hiroya, Baffert, Fabienne, Haskell, Amy, Baluk, Peter, ...

Angiogenesis inhibitors are receiving increased attention as cancer therapeutics, but little is known of the cellular effects of these inhibitors on tumor vessels. We sought to determine whether two...

Angiopoietin-2 functions as an autocrine protective factor in stressed endothelial cells

Daly, Christopher, Pasnikowski, Elizabeth, Burova, Elena, Wong, Vivian, Aldrich, Thomas H., Griffiths, Jennifer, ...

Angiopoietin (Ang)-2, a context-dependent agonist/antagonist for the vascular-specific Tie2 receptor, is highly expressed by endothelial cells at sites of normal and pathologic angiogenesis. One...

Normal Lymphatic Development and Function in Mice Deficient for the Lymphatic Hyaluronan Receptor LYVE-1▿ †

Gale, Nicholas W., Prevo, Remko, Espinosa, Jorge, Ferguson, David J., Dominguez, Melissa G., Yancopoulos, George D., ...

The hyaluronan receptor LYVE-1 is expressed abundantly on the surfaces of lymphatic vessels and lymph node sinus endothelial cells from early development, where it has been suggested to function both...

Openings between Defective Endothelial Cells Explain Tumor Vessel Leakiness

Hashizume, Hiroya, Baluk, Peter, Morikawa, Shunichi, McLean, John W., Thurston, Gavin, Roberge, Sylvie, ...

Leakiness of blood vessels in tumors may contribute to disease progression and is key to certain forms of cancer therapy, but the structural basis of the leakiness is unclear. We sought to determine...

Angiogenesis in Mice with Chronic Airway Inflammation : Strain-Dependent Differences
