Many changes occur during reperfusion of the myocardium after ischemic damage. Necrosis
and apoptosis appear to be ongoing during ischemia, while apoptosis is boosted by the …

Following an arterial occlusion outward remodeling of pre-existent inter-connecting
arterioles occurs by proliferation of vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells. This is …

After the onset of ischemia, cardiac or skeletal muscle undergoes a continuum of molecular,
cellular, and extracellular responses that determine the function and the remodeling of the …

Growth of collateral blood vessels (arteriogenesis) is potentially able to preserve structure
and function of limbs and organs after occlusion of a major artery. The success of the …

Growth of collateral vessels is potentially able to preserve structure and a variable degree of

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are considered angiogenic factors, yet the exact
relationship between FGF and vascular development in normal and pathological tissue has …

Tubular structures are a fundamental anatomic theme recurring in a wide range of animal
species. In mammals, tubulogenesis underscores the development of several systems and …

Gastric cancer is one of the most frequent malignancies worldwide. Despite improvements in
