Most tumors kill their hosts by the process of metastasis rather than by local growth of the primary mass. A significant factor contributing to the distant invasion of cancer cells is the ability of tumors to produce large numbers of new blood vessels in their midst, known as angiogenesis. This both provides access to nourishment for the primary cancer and enables the cells to escape from the tumor and enter the bloodstream. We have been examining agents that appear to inhibit metastasis and, in particular, angiogenesis. We now report on the ability of the synthetic tetracycline, doxycycline, and the chemically-modified tetracycline, COL-3, to inhibit angiogenesis in a quantitative in vitro assay of angiogenesis, using human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) attached to microcarrier beads.

Artificial dural regeneration matrix as a substitute for autologous tissue in indirect bypass in Moyamoya disease: Investigation of a rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.

Indirect bypass using autologous tissue is effective in Moyamoya disease, especially among pediatric patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of indirect bypass using DuraGen (absorbable artificial dura mater composed of collagen matrix), as a substitute for autologous tissue in a rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. Male Wistar rats were subjected to bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion and divided into three groups: a control group without bypass surgery, a group wherein indirect bypass was performed using the temporalis muscle (encephalo-myo-synangiosis [EMS] group), and a group wherein DuraGen was used (Dura group).

Investigating the genetic factors influencing human birth weight may lead to biological insights into fetal growth and long-term health. We report analyses of rare variants that impact birth weight when carried by either fetus or mother, using whole exome sequencing data in up to 234,675 participants. Rare protein-truncating and deleterious missense variants are collapsed to perform gene burden tests.

Department of Radiology, Luzhou People's Hospital, Luzhou 646000, China (S.Z., J.C., A.R., X.Z., J.H., M.Y., F.W.). Electronic address:
Rationale And Objectives: Inflammation and immune biomarkers can promote angiogenesis and proliferation and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The degree of pathological grade reflects the tumor heterogeneity of ESCC. The purpose is to develop and validate a nomogram based on enhanced CT multidimensional radiomics combined with inflammatory immune score (IIS) for predicting poorly differentiated ESCC.

The gene F-box only protein 22 (FBXO22) has been discovered to promote the development of liver cancer tumors. Nevertheless, there remains considerable ambiguity regarding the involvement of FBXO22 in the processes of angiogenesis and metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our study has confirmed a significant upregulation of FBXO22 expression in both HCC samples and cellular models.

Chronic non-healing wounds are a common complication of diabetes, marked by impaired angiogenesis. This study explores how exosomes (Exo-miR-1248) from miR-1248-overexpressing adipose-derived stem cells enhance diabetic wound healing by modulating endothelial cell function. Adipose-derived stem cells were transfected with a lentivirus carrying miR-1248 to produce Exo-miR-1248, isolated via differential centrifugation.
