Cytokines and Angiogenesis in the Corpus Luteum by António M. Galvão, Graça Ferreira-Dias, Dariusz J. Skarzynski

“…In adults, physiological angiogenesis is a rare event, with few exceptions as the vasculogenesis needed for tissue growth and function in female reproductive organs. …”

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Family and the Immune System: Activators or Inhibitors? by Cristina Maria Failla, Maria Luigia Carbone, Carmela Ramondino, Emanuele Bruni, Angela Orecchia

“…The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family includes key mediators of vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. VEGFs are secreted by various cells of epithelial and mesenchymal origin and by some immune cells in response to physiological and pathological stimuli. …”

Migration and proliferation drive the emergence of patterns in co-cultures of differentiating vascular progenitor cells by Jose E. Zamora Alvarado, Kara E. McCloskey, Ajay Gopinathan

“…These findings computationally supported that 2D patterning is mechanistically similar to current microfluidic platforms that take advantage of the migration-directed self-assembly of mature endothelial and mural cells to generate perfusable 3D vasculature in permissible hydrogel environments and suggest that stem or progenitor cells may not be fully necessary components in many tissue formations like those formed by vasculogenesis.…”

A Prospective Study of Villous Capillary Lesions in Complicated Pregnancies by Anu Priyadharshini Srinivasan, B. O. Parijatham Omprakash, Kandhimalla Lavanya, Priyadharshini Subbulakshmi Murugesan, Saraswathi Kandaswamy

“…Maternal diseases have a major role in disrupting the placental vasculogenesis and angiogenesis by creating a hypoxic environment that may affect the fetus adversely. …”

Comparative Analysis of Cardiovascular Development Related Genes in Stem Cells Isolated from Deciduous Pulp and Adipose Tissue by Zhang Xin Loo, Wijenthiran Kunasekaran, Vijayendran Govindasamy, Sabri Musa, Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim

“…These TF genes fall under several cardiovascular categories with higher expressions which were observed in growth and development of blood vessel, angiogenesis, and vasculogenesis categories. Further induction into cardiomyocyte revealed ASC to express more significantly cardiomyocyte specific markers compared to SHED during the differentiation course evidenced by morphology and gene expression profile. …”

The Immunosuppressant Fingolimod (FTY720) for the Treatment of Mechanical Force-Induced Abnormal Scars by Masayo Aoki, Akatsuki Kondo, Noriko Matsunaga, Azusa Honda, Yuri Okubo, Kazuaki Takabe, Rei Ogawa

“…Abnormal scars such as hypertrophic scars (HSs) and keloids are excessively growing scars that exhibit chronic inflammation and capillary vasculogenesis. The lipid mediator sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is important in inflammatory cell recruitment and angiogenesis. …”

Polymorphism of angiogenesis regulation factor genes (<i>VEGF/VEGFR</i>), and extracellular matrix remodeling genes (<i>MMP/TIMP</i>), and the levels of their products in extracell... by V. I. Konenkov, V. V. Nimaev, A. V. Shevchenko, V. F. Prokofiev

“…An important mechanism of angiogenesis and vasculogenesis regulation in tissue fluids is the production and reception of vascular endothelial growth factors in combination with the regulation of matrix metalloproteinases. …”

Anger Emotional Stress Influences VEGF/VEGFR2 and Its Induced PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway by Peng Sun, Sheng Wei, Xia Wei, Jieqiong Wang, Yuanyuan Zhang, Mingqi Qiao, Jibiao Wu

“…As VEGFR2 can promote neurogenesis and vasculogenesis in the hippocampus and frontal lobe, these results suggest that anger emotional stress can result in decreased neurogenesis.…”

Impaired fracture healing is associated with callus chondro-osseous junction abnormalities in periostin-null and osteopontin-null mice by Marc Teitelbaum, Marc Teitelbaum, Maya D. Culbertson, Charlene Wetterstrand, J. Patrick O’Connor, J. Patrick O’Connor

“…The results indicate that POSTN and SPP1 are necessary for normal chondro-osseous junction formation and that signaling from the chondro-osseous junction, possibly from COX-2 expressing osteoclasts, regulates callus vasculogenesis and chondrocyte hypertrophy necessary for endochondral ossification during fracture healing.…”
