Abstract excerpt
Matrix proteases play a critical role in cell invasion and migration, including the process of angiogenesis. The ability of specific factors to induce angiogenic responses correlates with their stimulation of matrix protease synthesis and release. Using an in vivo angiogenesis assay, the endothelial cell response to known angiogenic factors, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and adipocyte conditioned medium,...
