Increased expression of angiogenic growth factors in age-related maculopathy
AIMS/BACKGROUND The late stages of age-related maculopathy (ARM), especially neovascular macular degeneration (ARMD), can severely affect central vision and are the main cause of blindness in the… Expand

Enhanced bronchial expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and receptors (Flk-1 and Flt-1) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Background: Ongoing inflammatory processes resulting in airway and vascular remodelling characterise chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its… Expand

Role of extracellular matrix and its regulators in human airway smooth muscle biology
Altered extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition contributing to airway wall remodeling is an important feature of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The molecular mechanisms of… Expand

Enhanced expression of fibroblast growth factors and receptor FGFR-1 during vascular remodeling in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Important characteristics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) include airway and vascular remodeling, the molecular mechanisms of which are poorly understood. We assessed the role of… Expand

Tumor Necrosis Factor-a Enhances mRNA Expression and Secretion of Interleukin-6 in Cultured Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cells
Airway smooth muscle (ASM) is considered to be an end-target cell for the effects of mediators released during airway wall inflammation. Several reports suggest that activated ASM may be capable of… Expand

Enhanced expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in pulmonary plexogenic arteriopathy due to congenital heart disease
Congenital heart disease (CHD) leading to increased pulmonary blood pressure and flow is an important cause of pulmonary plexogenic arteriopathy (PPA). This type of arteriopathy tends to progress to… Expand

Autocrine regulation of asthmatic airway inflammation: role of airway smooth muscle
Chronic airway inflammation is one of the main features of asthma. Release of mediators from infiltrating inflammatory cells in the airway mucosa has been proposed to contribute directly or… Expand
