Immunotherapy of tumors with vaccine based on quail homologous vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2.

TLDR
It is found that immunotherapy with qVEGFR was effective at protective and therapeutic antitumor immunity in several solid and hematopoietic tumor models in mice, and may provide a vaccine strategy for cancer therapy through the induction of autoimmunity against the growth factor receptor associated with angiogenesis in a cross-reaction with single xenogeneic homologous protein.

Improving antiangiogenesis and anti-tumor activity of curcumin by biodegradable polymeric micelles.

TL;DR: Cur micelles were more effective in inhibiting tumor growth and prolonged survival in both subcutaneous and pulmonary metastatic LL/2 tumor models, and suggested that Cur micells may have promising applications in pulmonary carcinoma therapy.

Curcumin loaded polymeric micelles inhibit breast tumor growth and spontaneous pulmonary metastasis.

TL;DR: Polymeric micelles encapsulating Cur were developed with enhanced anti-tumor and anti-metastasis activity on breast tumor, and Cur-M is excellent water-based formulation of Cur which may serve as a candidate for breast cancer therapy.

Immunotherapy targeting fibroblast activation protein inhibits tumor growth and increases survival in a murine colon cancer model

TL;DR: The results suggest that FAP, a product preferentially expressed by TAF, could function as an effective tumor rejection antigen.

Immunogenic HER-2/neu peptides as tumor vaccines

TL;DR: It would be interesting to determine whether abrogation of tolerance to HER-2/neu using appropriate adjuvants and/or peptide analogs may lead to the development of immune responses to hermaphrodite epitopes that can be of relevance to cancer immunotherapy.

What is the evidence that tumors are angiogenesis dependent

TL;DR: Method of treating a wound or burn which comprises directly dressing its surface with non-woven fabric comprising staple fibers of spun, regenerated collagen substantially free of telopeptides is disclosed.

Failure of blood-island formation and vasculogenesis in Flk-1-deficient mice.

TL;DR: The generation of mice deficient in Flk-1 by disruption of the gene using homologous recombination in embryonic stem (ES) cells is reported, indicating that FlK-1 is essential for yolk-sac blood-island formation and vasculogenesis in the mouse embryo.

The expanding universe of T-cell subsets: Th1, Th2 and more

TL;DR: The increasing number of T-cell subsets defined by cytokine patterns; the differentiation pathways of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells; the contribution of other cell types to these patterns; and the cytokine interactions during infection and pregnancy are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vascular endothelial growth factor is a potential tumour angiogenesis factor in human gliomas in vivo.

TL;DR: It is shown that expression of an endothelial cell-specific mitogen, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), is induced in astrocytoma cells but is dramatically upregulated in two apparently different subsets of glioblastoma cells, which strongly support the concept that tumour angiogenesis is regulated by paracrine mechanisms and identify VEGF as a potential tumourAngiogenesis factor in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

High affinity VEGF binding and developmental expression suggest Flk-1 as a major regulator of vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.

TL;DR: Investigation of flk-1 receptor tyrosine kinase mRNA expression by in situ hybridization analysis revealed specific association with endothelial cells at all stages of mouse development, suggesting a major role of this ligand-receptor signaling system in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.
