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 ...
The Functional Morphology and Adaptations of the Epididymis in a Testicndid Mammal, The Rufous Sengi (Elephantulus rufescens).
(2011)
Sengis are testicondid African mammals that constitute
Order Macroscelidae. The epididymal mo
rphology in the
rufous sengis (
Elephantulus rufescens
) was studied with
focus on features and adaptations that make
it ...
Comparative quantitative and qualitative attributes of the surface respiratory macrophages in the domestic duck and the rabbit
(2011)
In mammals, surface respiratory macrophages (SM) are known to play a foremost role in protecting the respiratory
system by providing first line of defense through engulfing pathogens and particulate matter respired with ...
