Does vascular endothelial growth factor A contribute to glioma-induced migration of human marrow stromal cells ( hMSC )?
Human MSC show intensive migratory and invasive behavior in the presence of glioma cells and glioma-conditioned medium. Among others, VEGF-A seems to be one important factor in enhancing and directing stem cell motility.
These data indicated that twitch electrical stimulation was effective in preventing deterioration of muscle functions, such as maximum tension and oxidative capacity, induced by 1 wk of disuse.
