In the vascular system, angiogenesis and arteriogenesis play a unique yet equally important role in both health and disease. Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from a preexisting vascular bed, occurs naturally during wound healing, the female menstrual cycle and pregnancy. It plays a critical role in tissue growth and repair, and is a highly controlled process that is dependent on an intricate balance of both pro-angiogenic (to stimulate) and anti-angiogenic (to negatively regulate the phenomenon) factors. Otherwise, the term arteriogenesis refers to anatomic transformation of preexisting arterioles with increasing lumen area and wall thickness, due to a thick muscular layer and purchasing of visco-elastic and vasomotor capacities. Arteriogenesis differs from angiogenesis in several aspects, the most important being the dependence of angiogenesis on hypoxia and the dependence of arteriogenesis on inflammation. The expression of growth factors and the cooperation of surrounding and infiltrating cells seem to be essential in orchestrating the complex processes during arteriogenesis.

Background: The fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) has been used to identify anatomical structures intraoperatively in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using ICG to assess graft patency and territorial distribution of myocardial reperfusion during CABG.
Methods: Porcine arrested hearts (n = 18) were used to evaluate territorial distribution of native coronary arteries and of a coronary bypass constructed with porcine saphenous vein graft (SVG) using ICG.

Vascular occlusive diseases remain a major health burden worldwide, necessitating a deeper understanding of the adaptive responses that mitigate their impact. Arteriogenesis, the growth and remodeling of collateral vessels in response to arterial occlusion, is a vital defense mechanism that counteracts fluid shear stress-induced vascular stenosis or occlusion. While physical factors driving arteriogenesis have been extensively studied, the specific cellular mediators involved are poorly understood.

Optical imaging in the 1500-1700 nm region, known as near-infrared IIb (NIR-IIb), shows potential for noninvasive in vivo detection owing to its ultrahigh tissue penetration depth and spatiotemporal resolution. Rare earth-doped nanoparticles have emerged as widely used NIR-IIb probes because of their excellent optical properties. However, their downshifting emissions rarely exhibit sufficient brightness beyond 1600 nm.

Background: Vasculogenic therapies explored for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) have encountered minimal success in clinical trials. Addressing this, B55α, an isoform of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), emerges as pivotal in vessel remodeling through activation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α). This study delves into the pharmacological profile of VCE-004.

Article Synopsis
- Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is linked to poorer outcomes in patients with ischemic heart disease, and this study examines its relationship with coronary collateral development and 5-year survival rates after chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- The study involved 58 patients, including 21 with RAS and 37 without, finding that RAS patients had significantly worse collateral development and a lower survival rate over five years.
- The analysis showed that both age and RAS were key predictors of survival, confirming that RAS patients experience a higher risk of death post-CTO PCI, possibly due to inadequate collateral development.
