A confocal Raman microscope is used to study the protein distribution inside biological cells. It shown that high quality imaging of can be obtained using nonresonant (lambda(exc) = 647.1 nm). The results are for two different human cell types. Perpheral blood lymphocytes as an example fully maturated cells with a low level nuclear transcription. Human eye lens epithelial activity. in both types completely different. largely varies peripheral lymphocyte cells, while proteins more...
Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR‐3, Flt‐4), the for vascular factors (VEGFs) C and D, is expressed on lymphatic endothelium may play a role in lymphangiogenesis. In embryonic life, VEGFR‐3 essential blood vessel development. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether also involved angiogenesis adult. This studied human tissues showing andin model VEGF‐A‐induced iris neovascularization monkey eye, by use immunohistochemistry at light electron microscopic...
The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family is involved in angiogenesis, and therefore VEGFs are considered as targets for anti-angiogenic therapeutic strategies against cancer. However, the physiological functions of quiescent tissues unclear may interfere with such systemic therapies. In pathological conditions, increased levels expression VEGF receptors VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3 accompany activity. this study we investigated normal human monkey patterns these receptors....
AbstractPurpose. In tissues outside the brain, vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF) causes hyper-permeability by opening of inter-endothelial junctions and induction fenestrations vesiculo-vacuolar organelles (VVOs). preliminary studies, we observed that in blood-retinal barrier endothelium, other cellular mechanisms may underlie increased permeability caused VEGF. This was further investigated material an vivo experimental model VEGF-induced retinopathy. Methods. Two monkeys received...
