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 ...
Pre-hatch lung development in the ostrich.
(University of Nairobi,, 2012)
We studied development of the ostrich lung using light microscopy as well as electron microscopy techniques. At E24, the lung comprised a few epithelial tubes, interspersed with abundant mesenchyme with scattered profiles ...

Development and spatial organization of the air conduits in the lung of the domestic fowl, Gallus gallus variant domesticus.
(University of Nairobi,, 2008-09)
We employed macroscopic and ultrastructural techniques as well as intratracheal casting methods to investigate the pattern of development, categories, and arrangement of the air conduits in the chicken lung. The secondary ...
