## Abstract The successful use of tissueβengineered transplants is hampered by the need for vascularization. Recent advances have made possible the using of stem cells as cell sources for therapeutic angiogenesis, including the vascularization of engineered tissue grafts. The goal of this study was

## Abstract ## Background Both viral and nonβviral gene transfer vectors transduce vascular endothelial cells (EC) with low efficiency compared with other cell types such as hepatocytes. Generation of ECβselective vectors would enhance the clinical utility of gene therapy for diverse vascularβtarg
## Abstract Malignant gliomas are angiogenesis dependent and present a remarkable degree of resistance to radiotherapy. In the present work, we studied the effect of irradiation of C6 glioma cells on their proliferation and activation __in vitro__ and on glioma cellβinduced angiogenesis __in vivo__
## Background: Endothelin (et) is an endothelium-derived multifunctional peptide that produces a potent, long-lasting vasoconstriction. nitric oxide (no), besides being the most important endothelium-derived relaxant factor in blood vessels, is supposed to be involved in regulating the interactions
