1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Factors responsible for age-associated impairment of angiogenesis are poorly understood. We observed that in aged mice, new fibrovascular tissue within subcutaneous polyvinyl alcohol sponges expressed more tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-2 than did corresponding tissue from young mice. In complementary studies in vitro, we utilized young and aged human microvascular endothelial cell lines (hmEC36...
