Is vEGF-A165b cytoprotective and antiangiogenic in the retina?
The survival effects of VEGF-A(165)b signaling can protect the retina from ischemic damage. These results suggest that VEGF-A(165)b may be a useful therapeutic agent in ischemia-induced angiogenesis and a cytoprotective agent for retinal pigment epithelial cells.
Significant increment of polyamines levels at the site of cancer in comparison of non-neoplastic mucosa and adjacent colonic mucosa give them the possibility to occupy an important role in early detection of colon cancer by acting like oncological markers.
