Tumor vascularization occurs through several distinct biological processes, which not only
vary between tumor type and anatomic location, but also occur simultaneously within the …

Pericytes, the mural cells of blood microvessels, have recently come into focus as regulators
of vascular morphogenesis and function during development, cardiovascular homeostasis …

Wound healing is an evolutionarily conserved, complex, multicellular process that, in skin,
aims at barrier restoration. This process involves the coordinated efforts of several cell types …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a pivotal role in the orchestration of the normal wound‐
healing response. They act as secondary messengers to many immunocytes and non …

Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) and their receptors (PDGFRs) have served as
prototypes for growth factor and receptor tyrosine kinase function for more than 25 years …

Macrophages are strongly adapted to their tissue of residence. Yet, little is known about the
cell-cell interactions that imprint the tissue-specific identities of macrophages in their …

Reconstruction of bone defects, especially the critical-sized defects, with mechanical
integrity to the skeleton is important for a patient's rehabilitation, however, it still remains …

This review—the first in a series concerning the biology of cancer—is a comprehensive
survey of oncogenes, tumor-suppressor genes, and microRNA genes in cancer cells. Work …

The advent of in vitro DNA amplification has enabled rapid acquisition of genomic
information. We present here an analogous technique for protein detection, in which the …
