Jordaan, Donrich W., Woodrow, Christopher, Pepper, Michael S.

Stem cell banking is a complex and controversial subject. There are currently three private stem cell banks in South Africa. At present, South Africa does not have a public stem cell bank. The de...

Mixed arterio-venous insufficiency in random skin flaps in the rat : is the application of medicinal leeches beneficial? (2008)

Schlaudraff, Kai Uwe, Bezzola, Thierry, Montandon, Denys, Pepper, Michael S., Pittet, Brigitte

BACKGROUND: Leeches are commonly used in reconstructive surgery for the treatment of venous congestion in flaps. Documented mechanisms of action are: 1) injection of the anticoagulant hirudin; 2)...

Circulating and imaging markers for angiogenesis (2008)

Pathak, Arvind P., Hochfeld, Warren E., Goodman, Simon L., Pepper, Michael S.

Abundant preclinical and indirect clinical data have for several decades convincingly supported the notion that anti-angiogenesis is an effective strategy for the inhibition of tumor growth. The...

Downregulation of vascular endothelial-cadherin expression is associated with an increase in vascular tumor growth and hemorrhagic complications (2005)

Corada, Monica, Grazia Lampugnani, Maria, Zanetti, Adriana, Breviario, Ferruccio, Moons, Lieve; U0012643, ...

The pathogenesis of vascular tumors such as angiosarcomas is poorly understood. Cadherin expression inversely correlates with tumor malignancy and the endothelial specific VE-cadherin is low or...

Inducible and irreversible control of gene expression using a single transgene (2000)

Fuhrmann-Benzakein, Edya, García-Gabay, Irène, Pepper, Michael S., Vassalli, Jean-Dominique, Herrera, Pedro Luis

Experimental or therapeutic designs involving the conditional expression of genes often require the use of two different transgenes; this can represent a major undertaking. One of these systems takes...
