Angiogenesis inhibition by the maleimide-based small molecule GNX-686

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

We investigated the anti-angiogenic properties of GNX-686, a newly identified maleimide-based small molecule. In vitro studies on HUVEC showed that GNX-686 inhibited cell growth with an ED50 of 20-25 mu M, while human HeLa tumor cells and non-transformed e ...

Acute Hypoglycemia Induces Retinal Cell Death in Mouse

Martine Emery

Background: Glucose is the most important metabolic substrate of the retina and maintenance of normoglycemia is an essential challenge for diabetic patients. Glycemic excursions could lead to cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy. ...

Nuclear Receptor Rev-erb Alpha (Nr1d1) Functions in Concert with Nr2e3 to Regulate Transcriptional Networks in the Retina

Pascal Escher

The majority of diseases in the retina are caused by genetic mutations affecting the development and function of photoreceptor cells. The transcriptional networks directing these processes are regulated by genes such as nuclear hormone receptors. The nucle ...

Extracellular matrix in angiogenesis: dynamic structures with translational potential

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The vascular network is an integral component of most organs. Beyond assuring an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients for normal tissue function, vascular structures provide also a critical interface in the balance of tissue homoeostasis and immune func ...

Phase-locked Fourier domain optical coherence tomography

Adrian Bachmann

Fourier or spectral domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) is a multi-dimensional interferometric imaging modality that has attracted increasing interest during the last few years. The reason is its outstanding sensitivity allowing high speed 2D and 3 ...
