Abstract excerpt
alpha(v)-Integrin antagonists block neovascularization in various species, whereas 20% of alpha(v)-integrin null mice are born with many normal looking blood vessels. Given that blockade of alpha(v)-integrins during angiogenesis induces p53 activity, we utilized p53 null mice to elucidate whether loss of p53 can compensate for alpha(v)-integrin function in neovascularization of the retina. Murine retinal...
