Endothelial metabolism is a promising target for vascular functional regulation and disease
therapy. Glucose is the primary fuel for endothelial metabolism, supporting ATP generation …

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) plays a vital role in tumor cell proliferation, survival and
migration. Altered metabolic pathways fuel rapid tumor growth by accelerating glucose, lipid …

Endothelial cells and their metabolic state regulate glucose transport into underlying tissues.
Here, we show that low oxygen tension stimulates human umbilical vein endothelial cell 18 …

Regeneration of functional small diameter blood vessels still remains a challenge, as the
synthetic vascular grafts fail to mimic the complex structural architecture and dynamic …

The bone marrow microenvironment provides critical cues for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)
self-renewal and differentiation and contributes to their malignant conversion. The …

Background—Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the major causes of death worldwide.
Chronic heart failure is a serious complication of MI that leads to poor prognosis. We …

Rationale: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by progressive elevation in
pulmonary pressure and loss of small pulmonary arteries. As bone morphogenetic proteins …

The incidence rate of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has rapidly increased in the recent
decades, and the microRNA (miRNA) is one of the potential biomarkers in this cancer …

The underlying pathologic mechanism of most acute coronary syndromes is atherosclerotic
plaque rupture. One cause of rupture is plaque inflammation, leading to fibrous cap …
