Inhibiting angiogenesis with plant-derived bioactive compounds can inhibit tumour progression. Antiangiogenic potential of was analysed by preparing and analysing ethanolic extracts of by GC-MS and HPLC to identify bioactive components. In-vivo blood vessel formation assays in mice and chorioallantoic membrane assays (CAM) in eggs were employed to assess the antiangiogenic effects. qPCR was performed to elucidate mRNA expression of proangiogenic genes in MDA-MB-231 cells after exposure to and thymol. Molecular docking analysis highlighted the interaction of thymol with VEGF receptors. treatment significantly delayed wound healing in mice compared to control group. GC-MS and HPLC analyses thymol as a bioactive compound in extract. CAM assay indicated reduced angiogenesis in thymol-treated groups, further confirmed by downregulation of proangiogenic genes. Molecular docking of thymol with VEGFR1/VEGFR2 revealed strong binding affinity, suggesting thymol-mediated receptor blocking. Thymol exhibits antiangiogenic potential and may serve as a promising therapeutic agent against cancer.

Background: Beyond their conventional roles in hemostasis and wound healing, platelets have been shown to facilitate hematogenous metastasis by interacting with cancer cells. Depending on the activation route, platelets also generate different platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) that may educate cancer cells in the circulation or within the tumor microenvironment. We engaged different platelet-activating receptors, including glycoprotein VI and C-type lectin-like receptor 2, to generate a spectrum of PEV types.

Regeneration of functional bone tissue relies heavily on achieving adequate vascularization in engineered bone constructs following implantation. This process requires the close integration of osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Cell-free fat extract (CEFFE or FE), a recently emerging acellular fat extract containing abundant growth factors, holds significant potential for regulating osteo-angiogenic coupling and promoting regeneration of vascularized bone tissue.

Background: Angiogenesis is indispensable for the sustained survival and progression of both embryonic development and tumorigenesis. This intricate process is tightly regulated by a multitude of pro-angiogenic genes. The presence of gene modules facilitating angiogenesis has been substantiated in both embryonic development and the context of tumor proliferation.
