Five vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) ligands (VEGF-A,-B,–C,-D, and
placental growth factor [PlGF]) constitute the VEGF family. VEGF-A binds VEGF receptors 1 …

Obesity is now recognized as a worldwide epidemic. An inadequate diet and reduced
physical activity are acknowledged as the leading causes of excess body weight. Despite …

The sharing of molecules function that affects both tumor growth and neoangiogenesis with
cells of the immune system creates a mutual interplay that impairs the host's immune …

Prevention of preeclampsia (PE) remains one of the most significant problems in perinatal
medicine. Due to the possible unpredictable course of hypertension in pregnancy, primarily …

The placental vasculature rapidly expands during the course of pregnancy in order to
sustain the growing needs of the fetus. Angiogenesis and vascular growth are stimulated …

Background and Purpose: Although VEGF165 (vascular endothelial growth factor-165) is
able to enhance both angiogenesis and neurogenesis, it also increases vascular …

Sprouting angiogenesis is an essential process for expanding vascular systems under
various physiological and pathological conditions. In this paper, a microfluidic device …

The venous system has been historically understudied despite its critical roles in blood
distribution, heart function, and systemic immunity. This study dissects the microanatomy of …

Rationale Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and its family members adrenomedullin
(ADM) and adrenomedullin 2 (ADM2; also known as intermedin) support vascular adaptions …

Placental growth factor (PLGF), a potent stimulator of arteriogenesis, is upregulated during
outward arterial remodeling. Increased fluid shear stress (FSS) is a key physiological …
