Embryonic central nervous system neuroepithelial cells are a transient population of cells that give rise to neuronal and glial progenitors. In the E12-El6 embryonic rat spinal neural tube we have identified neuroepithelial cells as radially oriented cells expressing the GD3 ganglioside as recognize

β¦ Synopsis
When FGF-1 or FGF-2 and VEGF were added together, the mitogenic effect of FGF-1 or FGF-2 and VEGF on HUVEC was additive. However, when HUVECs were preincubated for 2 days with 10 ng/ml FGF-1 in the absence of VEGF, the Scatchard plot of [125I]VEGF binding sites was shifted to the right: both affinity classes of VEGF binding sites were equally affected, such that the total number of sites increased twofold. It is suggested that this type of interaction may be related to tumor angiogenesis and wound repair.

Human angiogenin is translocated to the nucleus of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in a time-dependent manner. Exogenous angiogenin appears in the nucleus in 2 min, reaches saturation in 15 min when 85% of the internalized angiogenin is in the nuclei, and remains associated with the nucleus f
We have previously shown that humic acid (well-water humic acid, HA, and synthetic humic acid, SHA) enhances cell surface expression of tissue factor (TF). Here we report that incubation of human umbilical vein endotheiial cells (HUVEC) for 2 hr with HA or SHA cause a rapid rise In TF mRNA levels, a
Cyclic strain has been shown to modulate endothelial cell (EC) morphology, proliferation, and function. We have recently reported that the focal adhesion proteins focal adhesion kinase (pp125 FAK ) and paxillin, are tyrosine phosphorylated in EC exposed to strain and these events regulate the morpho
