PUBLICATIONS(Ranked by impact factor of the journal)The active targeted modulation of tumor microenvironments was schemed by developing hyaluronic acid-installed genomic nanocarriers for effectively ablation of both primary and metastatic tumors through anti-VEGF approach. [J Control Release] Full Article | Graphical Abstract A Genome-Wide View of the De-Differentiation of Central Nervous System Endothelial Cells in Culture Scientists compared transcriptional and accessible chromatin landscapes of acutely isolated mouse central nervous system (CNS) endothelial cells (ECs) versus mouse CNS ECs in short-term in vitro culture. [eLife] Full Article Decreased CCN3 in Systemic Sclerosis Endothelial Cells Contributes to Impaired Angiogenesis CCN3 expression was systematically decreased in the dermis of systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients compared to healthy controls, particularly in dermal blood vessels. Moreover, CCN3 was decreased in vitro in endothelial cells from SSc patients. [J Invest Dermatol] Abstract | Graphical Abstract Investigators found that miR-130a and TGFβ content correlated with serum-derived extracellular vesicles in vitro and in vivo angiogenic properties, particularly in type 2 diabetic patients. [Sci Rep] Full Article Endothelial Autophagy: An Effective Target for Radiation-Induced Cerebral Capillary Damage Although in vivo neuron damage was observed after radiation exposure, further investigation found that zebrafish larvae didn’t respond to the same dosage of radiation in vitro, indicating that radiation induced neuron damage was a secondary-effect of cerebral vascular function damage. [Sci Rep] Full Article Researchers examined the redox activity of benzo-a-pyrene (BP)-1,6-quinone and mechanisms associated with it using EA.hy926 endothelial cells. [Toxicol Lett] Full Article Cilnidipine enhanced phosphorylation of endothelial (e) nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) and NO production in a concentration-dependent manner, which was abolished by siRNAs against eNOS or an Hsp90 inhibitor, geldanamycin. [Hypertens Res] Abstract Evaluation of GPR4 in the inflammatory response using the acute hindlimb ischemia-reperfusion mouse model revealed that GPR4 mediated tissue edema, inflammatory exudate formation, endothelial adhesion molecule expression, and leukocyte infiltration in the inflamed tissue.
