Does microchimerism mediate kin conflicts?
Fetal microchimerism (FMc) is predicted to promote the fitness of the fetus and maternal microchimerism (MMc) to promote the fitness of the mother. Offspring and mothers benefit from each other's health. Therefore, microchimeric cells should usually not be harmful to their host. However, the evolutionary interests of mothers and offspring diverge when there is competition among siblings for mat...
متن کاملVEGF receptors mediate hypoxic remodeling of adult ovine carotid arteries.
Recent studies suggest that VEGF contributes to hypoxic remodeling of arterial smooth muscle, although hypoxia produces only transient increases in VEGF that return to normoxic levels despite sustained changes in arterial structure and function. To explore how VEGF might contribute to long-term hypoxic vascular remodeling, this study explores the hypothesis that chronic hypoxia produces sustain...
متن کاملInduction of Macrophage VEGF in Response to Oxidized LDL and VEGF Accumulation
The interaction between macrophages and oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) appears to play a central role in the development of atherosclerosis, not only through foam cell formation but also via the induction of numerous cytokines and growth factors. The current study demonstrated that Ox-LDL upregulated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA expression in RAW 264 cel...

متن کاملExpression of VEGF in Neonatal Urinary Obstruction: Does Expression of VEGF Predict Hydronephrosis?
BACKGROUND In animal studies, the inhibition of VEGF activity results in high mortality and impaired renal and glomerular development. Mechanical stimuli, like mechanical stretch in respiratory and circulatory systems, results in an elevated expression of VEGF. In animal models, the experimental urinary obstruction is associated with stretching of tubular cells and activations of the renin-angi...
