Pro-Angiogenic and Osteogenic Effects of Adipose Tissue-Derived Pericytes Synergistically Enhanced by Nel-like Protein-1

Pro-Angiogenic and Osteogenic Effects of Adipose Tissue-Derived Pericytes Synergistically Enhanced by Nel-like Protein-1

An essential goal of vascularized tissue regeneration is to develop brokers for osteonecrosis. We aimed to establish the pro-angiogenic and osteogenic efficacy of adipose tissue-derived (AD) pericytes mixed with Nel-like protein-1 (NELL-1) to analyze the therapeutic results on osteonecrosis. Tube formation and cell migration have been assessed to find out the pro-angiogenic efficacy. Vessel formation…

Metformin inhibits cholesterol‑induced adhesion molecule expression via activating the AMPK signaling pathway in vascular smooth muscle cells

Recruitment of lymphocytes to the vascular wall contributes to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS). The expression of mobile adhesion molecules, comparable to vascular cell adhesion molecule‑1 and intercellular adhesion molecule‑1, serves a crucial function in mediating lymphocyte adhesion to the vascular wall. Ldl cholesterol loading induces the expression of adhesion molecules in vascular easy muscle cells (VSMCs),…
