Decrease in VEGF expression induces intussusceptive vascular pruning
(University of Nairobi,, 2011)
OBJECTIVE:
The concept of vascular pruning, the "cuting-off" of vessels, is gaining importance due to expansion of angio-modulating therapies. The proangiogenic effects of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are ...

The pulmonary blood-gas barrier in the avian embryo: inauguration, development and refinement
(University of Nairobi,, 2011)
In vertebrates, efficient gas exchange depends primarily on establishment of a thin blood-gas barrier (BGB). The primordial air conduits of the developing avian lung are lined with a cuboidal epithelium that is ultimately ...
Escape mechanisms after antiangiogenic treatment, or why are the tumors growing again?
(University of Nairobi,, 2011)
Inhibitors of angiogenesis and radiation induce compensatory changes in the tumor vasculature both during and after cessation of treatment. In numerous preclinical studies, angiogenesis inhibitors were shown to be efficient ...
Spatial and functional relationships between air conduits and blood capillaries in the pulmonary gas exchange tissue of adult and developing chickens
(2011)
The documented data regarding the three-dimensional structure of the air capillaries (ACs), the ultimate sites of gas exchange in the avian lung is contradictory. Further, the mode of gas exchange, described as cross-current ...
