UK researcher finds 'switching' compound for angiogenesis
For the second time in a week Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati, UK HealthCare physician and associate professor and vice chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, announced a discovery from his lab that will affect the future of macular degeneration treatment and research.   view more (2006-02-03)

Combination therapy reduces tumor resistance to radiation
Radiation is used to treat a variety of tumors and the response of tumors to radiation is dependent on endothelial cell death, which in turn limits oxygen delivery to the tumor, causing hypoxia and tumor cell death.   view more (2007-06-08)

Intrinsic eye protein halts angiogenesis
Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati, of the University of Kentucky, and Dr. Balamurali Ambati, of the Medical College of Georgia, have jointly published a paper in the journal Nature detailing major research discoveries in corneal avascularity and angiogenesis.   view more (2006-10-19)

Anti-fungal drug stops blood vessel growth
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered to their surprise that a drug commonly used to treat toenail fungus can also block angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels commonly seen in cancers.   view more (2007-04-30)

Experimental anti-cancer synthetic molecule targets tumor cell growth and angiogenesis
A recent study conducted by three French CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) laboratories describes a new candidate anti-cancer drug, named HB-19.   view more (2008-06-18)

Angiogenesis : Blocking tumor growth and treating infarction - a new target
Our tissues are able to form new blood vessels throughout life. This mechanism, which is called angiogenesis, is essential notably in the case of myocardial infarction, stroke and limb ischemia. The very same mechanism, however, keeps tumors supplied with nutrients and oxygen thus enabling them to... view more (2005-04-25)

Protein controls blood vessel formation, offers new drug target
After an injury, the body grows new blood vessels to repair damaged tissue. But sometimes too much growth causes problems, as when new blood vessels in the eyes leak, causing diabetic retinopathy and blindness if not treated.   view more (2007-12-05)

Another way to grow blood vessels
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have found a previously unknown molecular pathway in mice that spurs the growth of new blood vessels when body parts are jeopardized by poor circulation.   view more (2008-02-21)

New Developments in Angiogenic Therapy Emerging from Oxford
Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels, is important in the healthy body for healing wounds and, in females, for the monthly reproductive cycle and during pregnancy. It is controlled in the body through the use of the body’s own angiogenesis inhibitors and stimulators. In certain... view more (2002-08-23)

Study finds blocking angiogenesis signaling from inside cell may lead to serious health problems
Angiogenesis inhibitors that block a tumor's development of an independent blood supply have been touted as effective cancer fighters that result in fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy.   view more (2007-08-24)

Low-dose chemotherapy plus antiangiogenesis drug has activity in advanced breast cancer
Chemotherapy given in low, frequent doses - a novel strategy called "metronomic" delivery - achieved partial shrinkage of disease in some advanced breast cancer patients when given concurrently with an angiogenesis inhibitor.   view more (2005-12-09)

New compound 'highly efficacious' at reducing human tumour growth
Innsbruck, Austria: Treatment with a new dual cell cycle and angiogenesis pathway inhibitor blocks VEGF-induced vascular permeability, inhibits tumour angiogenesis and induces apoptosis in human tumour models said Dr Gerhard Siemeister of Schering AG, Corporate Research, Berlin speaking at the 18th... view more (2004-07-06)

Immune cells promote blood vessel formation in mouse endometriosis
A discovery in mice of immune cells that promote the formation of new blood vessels could lead to new treatments for endometriosis, a painful condition associated with infertility that affects up to 15 percent of women of reproductive age.   view more (2007-10-19)

What change does prokineticin 2/Bv8 have in human hepatocellular carcinoma?
Liver hepatocarcinoma is a highly vascularized cancer, and more and more research is focused on the molecules controlling angiogenesis.   view more (2008-03-18)

A stem cell type supposed to be crucial for angiogenesis and cancer growth does not exist?
Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels, is a central process in diverse physiological and pathological situations such as healing of wounds and traumas, cardiovascular disorders, inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, and in cancer growth.   view more (2008-04-23)

Bone-marrow Cell Transplantation Could Save Limbs (p 427)
Injecting a patient’s bone-marrow cells into their legs could help repair damaged circulatory systems in those with limb ischaemia, suggest authors of a trial in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Lower limb ischaemia is due to narrowing of the arteries and is a common condition, which if... view more (2002-08-07)

Researchers identify new cell targets for preventing growth of breast and other tumors
Researchers at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered new targets for cancer treatment aimed at blocking a key step in tumor progression.   view more (2008-04-24)

Urine test may help monitor disfiguring birthmarks
Vascular anomalies - birthmarks caused by abnormal development of arteries, capillaries, veins or lymph vessels - can sometimes begin to progress, requiring aggressive treatment to save the child's health or vision.   view more (2005-07-06)

New angiogenesis finding may help fight cancer growth
A researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health has discovered a new part of the complicated mechanism that governs the formation of blood vessels, or angiogenesis.   view more (2006-09-29)

Biomarkers of response to VEGF pathway-targeted therapy discovered for renal cell carcinoma
Angiogenesis inhibitors can be far more effective in treating metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer (RCC)-an aggressive form of the most common kind of kidney cancer that is also rich in blood supply-than traditional treatments, according to accumulating evidence.   view more (2006-09-14)

Cancer stem cells spur glioma Angiogenesis, could hold key to brain tumor therapy
Stem cell-like glioma cancer cells that share many characteristics with normal stem cells propel the lethal growth of brain cancers by promoting tumor blood vessel formation, and may hold the key to treating these deadly cancers.   view more (2006-08-15)

A new significance of LVD and angiogenic MVD is identified in human primary SCRC
Lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis are critical processes for tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. Angiogenesis has established its role in the development and progression of a variety of malignancies, playing a crucial role in the dissemination of the tumor cells.   view more (2008-01-17)
