TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR-BETA 1 (TGF-β1) INDUCES ANGIOGENESIS THROUGH VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR (VEGF)-MEDIATED APOPTOSIS

TL;DR: It is reported that VEGF‐mediated apoptosis is required for TGF‐β1 induction of angiogenesis, and this novel, unexpected role of V EGF and VEGFR2 indicates VEGf‐ mediated apoptosis as a potential target to controlAngiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Our Italian experience using lung ultrasound for identification, grading and serial follow-up of severity of lung involvement for management of patients with COVID-19.

TL;DR: Use of LU has helped in clinical decision making and reduced the use of both chest x‐rays and computed tomography (CT) in patients with suspected or documented COVID‐19 infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

VEGF, a prosurvival factor, acts in concert with TGF-β1 to induce endothelial cell apoptosis

TL;DR: It is found that TGF-β1 promotes endothelial cell expression of FGF-2, which up-regulates VEGF synthesis, which illustrates an unexpected role of V EGF and indicates that VEGf can be pharmacologically converted into an apoptotic factor, a novel approach to antiangiogenesis therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 binding to membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase induces MAPK activation and cell growth by a non-proteolytic mechanism.

TL;DR: A novel role is illustrated for MT1-MMP-TIMP-2 interaction, which controls cell functions by a mechanism independent of extracellular matrix degradation, which promotes tumor growth in vivo and control cell proliferation and migration through a non-proteolytic mechanism.
