Coronary restenosis is a reparative response to arterial injury during angioplasty, and
remains a major clinical problem. The reasons for treatment failures likely stem from our …

A majority of angiogenic factors has been shown to be produced by macrophages. This
review will give a concise description of their biochemical nature, their isolation from …

▪ Abstract In many organs and tissues, the cellular response to injury is associated with a
reiteration of specific developmental processes. Studies have shown that, in response to …
