Journal ArticleDOI

Two different laminin domains mediate the differentiation of human endothelial cells into capillary-like structures in vitro

TL;DR: It is shown that the laminin-derived synthetic peptide YIGSR contains sufficient information to induce single endothelial cells to form ring-like structures surrounding a hollow lumen, the basic putative unit in the formation of capillaries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scatter factor induces blood vessel formation in vivo.

TL;DR: Using two different in vivo assays, it is shown that physiologic quantities of purified native mouse scatter factor and recombinant human hepatocyte growth factor induce angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and that immunoreactive scatter factor is present surrounding sites of blood vessel formation in psoriatic skin.

Scatter factor induces blood vessel formation in vivo (hepatocyte growth factor/angiogenesis/endothelium/psoriasis/plasninogen activator)

TL;DR: This article showed that scatter factor may act as a paracrine mediator in pathologic angio- genesis associated with human inflammatory disease, and immunoreactive scatter factor is present surrounding sites of blood vessel formation in psoriatic skin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropeptide Y: a novel angiogenic factor from the sympathetic nerves and endothelium.

TL;DR: Endothelium is the site of action of NPY but also the origin of the autocrine NPY system, which, together with the sympathetic nerves, may be important in angiogenesis during tissue development and repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type IV collagenase(s) and TIMPs modulate endothelial cell morphogenesis in vitro

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that gelatinase/type IV collagenase activity is important in endothelial cell morphogenesis on Matrigel, and a role for collagenases in formation of new capillaries in vivo is suggested.
