Abstract excerpt
Radiation-induced endothelial cell apoptosis is involved in the development of many radiation injuries, including radiation-induced skin ulcers. The proangiogenic growth factor basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, NUDT6) enhances endothelial cell survival. In the present study, we set up a model of apoptosis in which primary cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were irradiated with (60)Co...
