Growth inhibition of prostate cancer xenografts by halofuginone * †
TLDR
The efficacy of halofuginone to inhibit prostate cancer xenografts representing various phenotypes of the disease is evaluated.
Antiangiogenesis therapy. Current and future agents.
Angiogenesis in Gliomas: Imaging and Experimental Therapeutics
TLDR
The rationale forAntiangiogenesis as a treatment strategy, the preclinical and clinical assessment of antiangiogenic interventions, and the various treatment strategies, including combining antiangIogenic drugs with radiation and chemotherapy are discussed.
Inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor in the treatment of colorectal cancer.
Tumor Angiogenesis Inhibitors
TLDR
The antiangiogenic effects of the majority of currently known synthetic inhibitors are considered in the context of their roles in the main steps of tumor angiogenesis.
Antiangiogenic Chemotherapeutic Agents
TLDR
The enhanced endothelial cell proliferation rate in tumor specimens raised the question whether therapeutic effects of chemotherapeutic agents might be at least partially attributed to an inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, and which application schedules are able to exert a strong antiangiogenic effect.
Tumor angiogenesis as a therapeutic target.
Multiple angiogenesis stimulators in a single malignancy: Implications for anti-angiogenic tumour therapy
TLDR
It is shown that a single solid malignancy, i.e., a human embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, produces in vivo at least three biologically active angiogenesis stimulators (vascular endothelial growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor and interleukin-8).
Anti-angiogenic Treatment Strategies for Malignant Brain Tumors
TLDR
Current anti-angiogenic treatment strategies with emphasis on substances already in clinical trials or candidate substances for clinical trials are provided, and the cellular and molecular basis of these substances is reviewed.
Motif mimetic of epsin perturbs tumor growth and metastasis.
TLDR
UPI peptide markedly impaired functional tumor angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis, resulting in a notable increase in survival in tumor-bearing mice and equipped with localized tumor endothelium-specific targeting, provides potential for an effective and alternative cancer therapy.

TLDR
This new capillary growth is even more vigorous and continuous than a similar outgrowth of capillary sprouts observed in 2016 and is likely to be accompanied by neovascularization.

TLDR
The results show an antitumour interaction between ionizing radiation and angiostatin for four distinct tumour types, at doses of radiation that are used in radiotherapy.

TLDR
Binding of angiostatin to the alpha/beta-subunits of ATP synthase on the cell surface may mediate its antiangiogenic effects and the down-regulation of endothelial cell proliferation and migration.

TLDR
It is argued the cause-and-effect relationship between in utero exposure to diethylstilbestrol and incidence of vaginal adenocarcinoma among young women and a ban of such diet supplementation of human foodstuffs is called for.
Troponin I is present in human cartilage and inhibits angiogenesis.
TLDR
This study cloned and expressed the cDNA of human cartilage TnI, purified this protein to apparent homogeneity, and demonstrated that it is a potent and specific inhibitor of angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro, as well as of tumor metastasis in vivo.
