Angiostatin inhibits endothelial MMP-2 and MMP-14 expression: A hypoxia specific mechanism of action
Download2013
Zielnik-Drabik, B., Jurasz, P., Radziwon-Balicka, A., Moncada de la Rosa, C., Ramer, C.
Angiostatin is an angiogenesis inhibitor in part generated by and released from platelets. Since platelets upon thrombus formation can give rise to areas of hypoxia, we investigated the effects of angiostatin on endothelial cell migration and apoptosis during hypoxia. Human microvascular...
