Angiogenesis News and Research

RSS

Angiogenesis is blood vessel formation. Tumor angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. This is caused by the release of chemicals by the tumor.

Moffitt researchers discover how YAP1 protein contributes to angiogenesis in cancers

The formation of new blood vessels, also known as angiogenesis, is critical to the development and progression of cancer.

Study offers new insight into the growth of blood vessels

Blood vessels must adapt their growth to the nutrients available in their surroundings so that they can keep organs adequately supplied. A team led by Michael Potente has identified two proteins that are important for this process and published their findings in Nature Metabolism.

Combination of three technologies makes potential treatment effective against aggressive brain tumor

A drug carrier able to reach the brain, bind to an aggressive type of tumor called glioblastoma multiforme, and release a chemotherapeutic agent has been tested for the first time by Brazilian researchers.

AKT inhibitor miransertib could be a promising new treatment against low-flow vascular malformations

A team of researchers led by Dr. Sandra Castillo and Dr. Mariona Graupera, from the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute and member of the CIBERONC, have found the AKT inhibitor miransertib could be a new molecular treatment effective against low-flow vascular malformations, a long-awaited milestone.

Stress protein in fibroblasts appears to be an attractive cancer drug target

A stress protein that is overactive in many types of tumor cells also has a key role in tumor-supporting cells called fibroblasts, and may be a good target for future cancer treatments, suggests a study from researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

Study reveals the benefits of using thalidomide in patients with severe arteriovenous malformations

The same properties that caused birth defects when it was given to pregnant women, the inhibition of blood vessel formation (anti-angiogenesis), have led to an interest in thalidomide's therapeutic utility in other fields.

Molecular target discovery opens new pathways for developing effective anti-angiogenic cancer therapy

Researchers with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute have identified a new molecular drug target that could result in new cancer drugs with fewer side effects.

Why do diabetic patients have more severe SARS-CoV-2 infections?

A recent study published in the journal Cell Metabolism illustrated the function of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in renal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among diabetic patients.

Blood test could aid in the differential diagnosis of preeclampsia and COVID-19 in pregnant women

Pregnancy brings deep changes in women's physiology, especially regarding her blood system. The placenta is the organ which ensures an efficient communication between the mother and the baby.

MCG scientists report how exercise can counter the damage of diabetes

One way exercise can counter the damage of diabetes is by enabling activation of a natural system we have to grow new blood vessels when existing ones are ravaged by this disease, scientists report.

Researchers reveal possible way to treat newborns with rare genetic lung condition

When babies are born with alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACDMPV), their skin starts to turn blue from the under-oxygenated blood in their systems.

Solid bone marrow aspirates may be a promising therapeutic approach for promoting wound healing

A new study compares the regenerative potential of blood/bone marrow aspirate concentrates obtained from arterial blood, venous blood, and bone marrow aspirate. The study, conducted in rabbits, is reported in the peer-reviewed journal Tissue Engineering Part A.
