## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMPs) have at least 2 different functions. They inhibit the catalytic activity of matrix metalloproteinases, and they act as growth factors. ## METHODS. Pretreatment ethylenediamine tetracetic acid plasma TIMP‐1 was assayed from
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐1 (TIMP‐1) has paradoxical multifunctional roles in tumorigenesis: inhibition of the catalytic activity of matrix metalloproteinases and apoptosis as well as promotion of angiogenesis and tumor growth. Elevated TIMP‐1 levels have bee
CD105 (endoglin), a receptor for transforming growth factor (TGF) 1 and 3 in vascular endothelial cells, is highly up-regulated in blood vessels of tissues where neovascularisation occurs. It modulates endothelial-mesenchymal signalling and is essential for angiogenesis. Indeed, CD105 knockout mic
