Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has become a global health concern, with about 40% of people living type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus developing DKD. Upregulation vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the is significant pathology DKD associated increased glomerular permeability. To date, however, current anti-VEGF therapies have demonstrated limited success treating Recent studies shown that ...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most highly vascularized human cancers. The role exosomes in cancer angiogenesis has attracted recent interest. However, proangiogenic biomolecules transported by to facilitate GBM have not yet been identified. Here, we found a specific 120-kDa isoform vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) GBM-derived and confirmed it as VEGF-C. By binding VEGF receptor 2 (V...

background: henoch-schönlein purpura (hsp) is an lga mediated small vessel systemic vasculitis disease in children. the etiology and pathogenesis of hsp disease remain unknown. however, environmental and genetic risk factors could play important roles in susceptibility to hsp disease. in this study we investigated the association of 5՛-untranslated region polymorphism (-634g/c) of vegf gene wit...

background and aims. vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) and ki-67 antigen are contributing factors in this process cell proliferation and new blood vessels formation in tumor progression. this study was conducted to examine the relationship between the expression of vegf and ki-67 and gender and age of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc). materials and methods. twenty-three...

conclusions vpa and cbz treatments caused a decrease in β-catenin and vegf levels in sw480 colon cancer cell lines. these results suggest that cbz can be considered a potential antitumor drug with potencies different from vpa. methods in the present experimental study, implemented during 2014 - 2015 in iran, after incubation of cells into 96-well plates with 5,500 cells/well, the tested drugs w...

More VEGF, more life—and health span Advanced aging is celebrated but its ill effects, deterioration at the cell, tissue, and organ levels, are not. Grunewald et al . provide evidence for vascular theory of aging, which reports that age-related decrease function a driver organismal large (see Perspective by Augustin Kipnis). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling insufficiency unde...

Introduction . Fractures of the maxilla are characterized by such features as close location vital anatomical structures, visual organ, well aesthetic importance this area face and presence risk serious complications. The aim work was to estimate level angiogenic factors in oral fluid: vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), D (VEGF-D), placental (PIGF), platelet-derived BB (PDGF-BB) (VE...

Chronic wounds represent a major medical challenge. While the essential role of blood vessel growth and function in wound healing has been thoroughly studied, lymphatic vessels remained unclear. Full-thickness excisional were made wildtype mice, transgenic mice with an increased number cutaneous (K14-VEGF-C expressing lymphangiogenic factor VEGF-C skin), that lack skin (K14-sVEGFR3 soluble form...
