Angiogenesis

Angiogenesis plays a critical role in the progression of endometriosis, with enhanced glycolysis accelerating pathological angiogenesis. Prior research has identified a central role for N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification in regulating gl…

Adenomyosis is characterized by abnormal uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea and subfertility. Increased expression of angiogenesis markers in adenomyosis presents a treatment opportunity and was studied in an adenomyosis mouse model. Mice were …

Retrograde menstruation is a widely recognized etiological factor for endometriosis (EMs); however, it is not the sole cause, as not all affected women develop EMs. Emerging evidence suggests a significant association between the vaginal mi…

In multicellular organisms, angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, is an essential process for growth and development. Different mechanisms such as vasculogenesis, sprouting, intussusceptive, and coalescent…

Angiogenesis crucially contributes to various diseases, such as cancer and diabetic retinopathy. Hence, anti-angiogenic therapy is considered as a powerful strategy against these diseases. Previous studies reported that the acyclic monoterp…

Angiogenesis is essential for the engraftment and growth of endometriotic lesions. In this study, we analyzed whether this process is regulated by Notch signaling. Endometriotic lesions were induced by endometrial tissue transplantation int…

Identification of target molecules specific for angiogenic vascular endothelial cells (VEC), the inner layer of pathological neovasculature, is critical for discovery and development of neovascular-targeting therapy for angiogenesis-depende…

The 5-hydroxytryptamine type 4 receptor (5-HT(4)R) regulates many physiological processes, including learning and memory, cognition, and gastrointestinal motility. Little is known about its role in angiogenesis. Using mouse hindlimb ischemi…

Endometriosis is an angiogenesis-dependent disease. Many studies demonstrated inhibition of angiogenesis leads to inhibition of endometriotic growth, however underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. Our previous study suggested v…

Green tea epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) can inhibit angiogenesis and development of an experimental endometriosis model in mice, but it suffers from poor bioavailability. A prodrug of EGCG (pro-EGCG, EGCG octaacetate) is utilized to enh…

Endometriosis is a frequent gynecological disease, which is crucially dependent on the process of angiogenesis. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms of blood vessel development are still poorly understood. CK2 is a pleiotropic prot…

UNLABELLED: The aim of this study was to evaluate precisely the microvascularisation of endometrium, superficial and deep endometriotic lesions, in progestin-treated and non-treated patients suffering from endometriosis. METHODS: A populat…

UNLABELLED: Endometrial vasculature supports physiological uterine growth, embryonic implantation and endometrial pathology. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is regulated by diverse developmental and hormonal signals, including eic…

This review summarises recent research into the mechanisms and regulation of endometrial angiogenesis. Understanding of when and by what mechanisms angiogenesis occurs during the menstrual cycle is limited, as is knowledge of how it is regu…

Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, is an estrogen-dependent disease which causes pelvic pain and subfertility in women of reproductive age. The condition has a dramatic impact on the professiona…

Human endometrial vasculature has the unique property of undergoing benign angiogenesis during each menstrual cycle under the influence of the ovarian steroids estradiol and progesterone. However, neither has intrinsic angiogenic activity a…

As a tissue that exhibits rapid cyclical growth and shedding throughout the reproductive life of the female, the human endometrium provides a good model for the study of normal physiological angiogenesis. This paper will review current info…
