Vascular endothelial growth factor C is increased in endometrium and promotes endothelial functions, vascular permeability and angiogenesis and growth of endometriosis

Angiogenesis ·doi:10.1007/s10456-013-9333-1

Endometriosis is an angiogenesis-dependent disease. Many studies demonstrated inhibition of angiogenesis leads to inhibition of endometriotic growth, however underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. Our previous study suggested v…

Nicht-invasive Überwachung des Effekts antiangiogener Therapie in einem neuartigen transgenen Mausmodell für Endometriose

·doi:10.1055/s-2006-952248

Die Endometriose ist eine häufige Erkrankung von Frauen im reproduktiven Alter. Bisherige Therapieansätze sind zumeist mit umfangreichen Nebenwirkungen und Rezidiven verbunden. Neuartige Therapiekonzepte, wie die Unterdrückung der Angiogene…
