Endothelial cells and VEGF in vascular development
Article Abstract:
Embryonic phenotypes that fail to develop different phases of the normal vasculature are reported for the vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF/VEGFR. Endothelial cells might probably have more interesting roles than just acting as channels for blood circulation and they can promote stem cell development and organ formation by acting as sources of paracrine signals to surrounding cells, both in development and in ongoing endothelial niches in the adult, both the process have serious implications.

Annexin-V imaging for noninvasive detection of cardiac allograft rejection
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on the heart transplant rejection cause by myocyte necrosis and interstitial mononuclear cell filtration apoptosis. The clinical feasibility and safety of annexin-V imaging for the transplant rejection detection have been investigated via cell membrane phospholipid alteration targeting and the results are presented.

Molecular imaging of VEGF receptors in angiogenic vasculature with single-chain VEGF-based probes
Article Abstract:
This article describes the role played by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which are cell surface receptors and help in the vasculature of tumors. The experiment conducted is based on a single-chain of VEGF and is found to be useful for diagnosis, therapeutic monitoring and treatments.
