Abstract

VEGF has been proposed to participate in normal and pathological vessel formation. Surprisingly, lack of only a single VEGF allele resulted in embryonic lethality due to abnormal formation of intra- and extra-embryonic vessels. Homozygous VEGF-deficient embryos, generated by tetraploid aggregation, revealed an even more severe defect in vessel formation. These results (1) suggest a tight regulation of early vessel development by VEGF and, indirectly, the presence of other VEGF-like molecules; (2) reveal an unprecedented lethal phenotype associated with heterozygous deficiency of an autosomal gene, and (3) demonstrate that tetraploid aggregation was a valid and the only method to study the phenotype of the homozyogous VEGF-deficient embryos. The dominant and strict dose-dependent role of VEGF in vivo renders this molecule a desirable therapeutic target for promoting or preventing angiogenesis. Tissue factor (TF) is the principal cellular initiator of coagulation and its deregulated expression has been related to thrombogenesis in sepsis, cancer, and inflammation. However, TF appears to be also involved in a variety of non-hemostatic functions including inflammation, cancer, brain function, immune response, and tumor-associated a...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
