The human placental surface is lined by a giant multinucleate epithelial cell – the syncytiotrophoblast (ST). The ST acts a maternal-fetal interface and aids in the exchange of gas, nutrient exchange, and acts as a transient endocrine organ. This ST layer is formed and maintained by the...

Introduction Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a ubiquitous term used to describe a group of permanent, non-progressive disorders of movement, posture, and behaviour. Despite countless advances in neonatal medicine, the incidence of CP has remained constant in term infants over the last three decades. More...

Cardiovascular Effects of Aerobic Exercise Training in Hypoxic-induced Intrauterine Growth Restriction
DownloadFall 2017
Fetal hypoxia is one of the most common consequences of complicated pregnancies worldwide. It has been demonstrated that prenatal hypoxia leads to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Being born growth restricted is associated with a decrease in cardiomyocyte proliferation, an increased...

Epidermal Growth Factor-like domain 7 (EGFL7) is a secreted angiogenic factor that is almost exclusively expressed by endothelial cells. High EGFL7 expression occurs during physiological angiogenesis, under pathological conditions, and in solid tumor angiogenesis. Evidence suggests that EGFL7...

Heart transplantation (HTx) is a life-saving intervention for patients with end-stage heart failure. Nonetheless, the development of Chronic Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) limits the longevity of transplanted cardiac allografts and the survival of recipients. The pathogenesis of CAV begins with a...

Over the last several decades great progress has been made in cancer diagnosis and detection. One foundation of this progress has been improved imaging technologies. Among the most promising imaging technologies for cancer detection is Positron Emission Tomography (PET). PET imaging allows for...

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a broad term for a range of diseases that usually manifest with rapid failure of the affected organ. Although different in etiology, these diseases share a common pattern of injury originating in the vascular endothelium. In turn, the injured vasculature...

Manipulation of the Angiogenic Balance by Pharmacological Inhibition of Platelet PKC Signalling
DownloadFall 2012
Blood platelets mediate wound healing by preventing bleeding and by supporting growth of new blood vessels. Blood vessel growth is supported in part by growth factors released from platelet α-granules. Both platelet aggregation and α-granule release are mediated by intracellular signaling...

The placenta is an essential transitory fetal organ responsible for the key processes of nutrient, oxygen, and waste transfer between the mother and the fetus throughout gestation. Placental size is, importantly, known to correlate to fetal weight, and the malfunction and malformation of the...

Novel Insights into the Role of O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase in Glioblastoma Angiogenesis, Invasion, and Proliferation
DownloadFall 2012
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterized by aberrant angiogenesis, rapid proliferation, and widespread invasion through the brain parenchyma. Thus, the prognosis for these tumors remains extremely poor despite aggressive multimodal treatment including chemotherapy with the alkylating agent...
