Understanding and modulating vascular arrest with ultra-high definition
Therapeutic modulation of vascular cell proliferation and migration is essential for the effective inhibition of angiogenesis in cancer or its induction in cardiovascular disease. The current view is that an increase in growth factor levels or mitogenic stimulation is beneficial for angiogenesis, since it leads to an increase in both endothelial proliferation and sprouting. Through the use of innovative genetic and imaging approaches, we have recently elucidated a previously unappreciated, context-dependent mechanism whereby highly mitogenic environments can be detrimental for angiogenesis and lead to the cell-cycle arrest of endothelial cells (ECs), which ultimately impairs vascular…
