Transforming growth factor-beta does not alter interleukin-1 expression in cultured human macrophages.

TL;DR: The results show that the TGF β used was biologically active but they provide no evidence for TGFβ in the regulation of IL‐1 production in human monocytes.

Expression vectors and cell lines expressing vascular endothelial growth factor D

TL;DR: In this article, a method for treating and alleviating melanomas or tumors expressing VEGF-D and various diseases was proposed, which relates to expression vectors comprising VEGFs and its biologically active derivatives, cell lines stably expressing VegFs and their derivatives, and to a method of making a polypeptide using these expression vectors and host cells.
Journal Article

VEGFR-3 mediated activation of lymphatic endothelium is crucial for tumor cell entry and spread via lymphatic vessels

TL;DR: It is concluded that angiogenesis induced by colorectal carcinoma cells is regulated by Src kinase and that heterogeneous endothelial cells from distinct anatomic sites may be differentially activated by coloresceptic cancer cells.
