Not exact matches

This happens because the loss of blood flow in a vessel causes the local oxygen level to drop, which stimulates local production of vascular endothelial growth factor, or VEGF, a protein which in most tissues causes the growth of new blood vessels to repair damage.

Researchers from the UNC School of Medicine have discovered that cells called fibroblasts, which normally give rise to scar tissue after a heart attack, can be turned into endothelial cells, which generate blood vessels to supply oxygen and nutrients to the injured regions of the heart, thus greatly reducing the damage done following heart attack.

Professor Takao Hamakubo's group at the Department of Quantitative Biology and Medicine, Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), have shown that PTX3 forms strong bonds with histones and partially unfolds, leading to a disordered coaggregation of histone and PTX3 and protecting human endothelial cells from damage.

The force of that blood flow helps keep the cells that line the blood vessels, called endothelial cells, healthy; when blood flow is disrupted, such as during surgical procedures or a stroke, the vessels start to leak, which can cause a host of inflammatory responses that lead to cell damage and disease.

This happens because the loss of blood flow in a blood vessel causes the local oxygen level to drop, which stimulates local production of vascular endothelial growth factor, or VEGF, a protein that in most tissues causes the growth of new blood vessels to repair damage.

Conclusion: We modified the technique of Melles and obtained a sheet of Descemet membrane and endothelium with minimal endothelial damage and with no remaining stroma observed.

We will combine methods from the fields of immunology, developmental biology and angiogenesis to understand in vivo the development and lineage - specific function (s) of resident macrophages, thereby opening new venues of research into the interaction between macrophages and endothelial cells in response to tissue damage.

Additionally, there was no damage to the endothelial cells of untargeted organs.

At the same time, the protein Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) stimulates blood supply for the damaged tissue, Fibroblast Growth Factor - 2 (FGF - 2) stimulates the damaged cells to grow and reproduce themselves, Transforming Growth Factor - beta (TGF - beta) stimulates cartilage to grow, and Stem Cell Factor (SCF) stimulates your native inactive stem cells to become activated and assist in the repair of the damaged tissue.

Researchers at the University of Palermo in Italy found that the betalains contained in prickly pears appears to protect the endothelial cell walls of blood vessels from oxidative damage by free radicals.

The patient example here used to discredit the virtues of the plant based intervention approach would have likely showed massive endothelial damage from the decades of high animal protein and artery injuring foods, in fact the plant based intervention at the late stage of his chronic illness may have actually improved blood work and perhaps added some time to this patients life although it is not mentioned here.

Points to make: soy protein isolate and other highly processed modern soy protein products are not safe and have no long history of use in the food supply; studies published since 1999 undermine the credibility of — and conclusions drawn — from key studies evaluated by the FDA when it approved the health claim in 1999; recent studies show that soy can contribute to or cause heart disease, including endothelial damage (especially in women), heart arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy, an increasingly prevalent condition that affects 1 in 500 Americans.

For example, I recall exotoxins from animal products being a causative factor for inflammation and the corresponding cascading of events with endothelial damage, which is then spackled over with cholesterol as a repair mechanism.
