Endothelial progenitor cells do not contribute to tumor endothelium in primary and metastatic tumors.

13 Oct 2009 Despite extensive research, the contribution of bone-marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (BM-EPC) to tumor angiogenesis remains controversial. In previous publications, the extent of incorporation of BM-EPCs into the endothelial cell (EC) ... Read more...

Activation of endothelial and coagulation systems in left ventricular assist device recipients.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The paucity of organ donors has necessitated redirecting research toward finding alternative means to a heart transplant, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) that will serve not merely as bridge-to-transplant but also as ... Read more...

Regulation of CXCL12 and CXCR4 expression by human brain endothelial cells and their role in CD4+ and CD8+ T cell adhesion and transendothelial migration.

16 Sep 2009 Chemokines have emerged as important mediators of leukocyte recruitment to the CNS across the normally restrictive blood-brain barrier (BBB). In the present study we investigated the regulation of CXCL12 and its receptor, CXCR4, expression in human ... Read more...
