Mechanism of Angiogenesis01:10

Mechanism of Angiogenesis

7.8K
Blood vessel formation starts early during embryonic development, around day 7. In the extraembryonic yolk sac, mesodermal precursor cells called hemangioblast proliferate and differentiate into angioblast. Angioblasts express vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 or VEGFR2, which binds VEGF-A, a proangiogenic factor, guiding blood vessel formation. VEGF signaling promotes angioblasts to form a blood island in the developing embryo. Angioblasts further differentiate, giving rise to...

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

4.0K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells

2.3K
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.
However, failure of such a system...

Overview of Regeneration and Repair01:19

Overview of Regeneration and Repair

6.2K
Regeneration and repair processes are critical in healing damages caused by injury, disease, and aging. In regeneration, the damaged tissue is entirely replaced with new growth that restores the original architecture and function. In contrast, tissue repair usually results in a fixed tissue architecture involving scar formation. Scars generally do not reestablish tissue function and may also exhibit structural abnormalities at the injury site.

Liver Regeneration01:24

Liver Regeneration

5.3K
The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.
Cells of Liver
The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are...

Healing I: Introduction

Healing is the physiological process by which the body restores the integrity and function of damaged tissues following injury. It involves a coordinated interplay of cellular proliferation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and growth factor signaling. The extent and nature of the tissue damage determine whether healing occurs by resolution, regeneration, or replacement.ResolutionResolution represents the most complete form of healing, occurring when the injury is minimal and tissue...

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Biology
    • Wound Healing

    Background:

    • Corneal endothelial damage can lead to edema and vision impairment.
    • Understanding the recovery process after injury is crucial for developing effective treatments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the time course of corneal swelling and thickness recovery after cryothermal injury.
    • To evaluate the histological and functional recovery of the corneal endothelium.

    Main Methods:

    • A 4 mm diameter cryothermal injury was induced on rabbit corneas.
    • Corneal thickness was measured at various distances from the limbus.
    • Histological examination assessed endothelial cell migration, morphology, and coverage.
    • Physiologic endothelial function was inferred from permeability changes.

    Main Results:

    • Rapid initial corneal swelling occurred, peaking within 24 hours, with greater central than peripheral swelling.
    • Peripheral cornea thickness normalized in 8 days; central thickness normalized in 10-12 days.
    • Endothelial cell migration began at 6 hours, with near-complete coverage by 2 days, but irregular cell morphology persisted.
    • Histological recovery preceded functional recovery by 4-5 days, suggesting junctional integrity is key.

    Conclusions:

    • Corneal thickness and endothelial cell morphology recover within 10-12 days post-injury.
    • Physiologic recovery of endothelial permeability is dependent on the maturation of cellular junctions, not just surface coverage.
