Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenic peptide with vascular permeability and relaxing properties. This study assessed whether peritoneal macrophages of cirrhotic patients can be up-regulated to produce VEGF under proper stimulatory conditions. Macrophages were isolated from asci

In various cell types, the neuro-and endocrine peptide somatostatin induces inhibitory and anti-secretory effects. Since somatostatin receptors, especially of the subtype sst2A, are constantly over-expressed in gliomas, we investigated the influence of somatostatin and the receptor subtype-selective
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VECF) is a 45kDa secreted peptide that has potent mitogenic activity specific for endothelial cells in vitro and the ability to induce a strong angiogenic response in vivo. In the present study, 24 h treatment with VEGF resulted in a stimulation of expression of t
## Abstract Proper bone remodeling requires an active process of angiogenesis which in turn supplies the necessary growth factors and stem cells. This tissue cooperation suggests a crossβtalk between osteoblasts and endothelial cells. This work aims to identify the role of paracrine communication t
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was immobilized on substrata in photoreactive gelatin to control the adhesion and growth of vascular endothelial cells. The gelatin and VEGF were mixed in water and cast on a polystyrene dish or a silaneβcoated glass plate. The surface was then
