ABERRANT EXPRESSION OF MIR-133A IN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS INHIBITS ANGIOGENESIS BY REDUCING PRO-ANGIOGENIC BUT INCREASING ANTI-ANGIOGENIC GENE EXPRESSION

Aberrant expression of miR-133a in endothelial cells inhibits angiogenesis by reducing pro-angiogenic but increasing anti-angiogenic gene expression

Abstract Angiogenesis is a multi-factorial physiological process deregulated in human diseases characterised by excessive or insufficient blood vessel formation.Emerging evidence highlights a novel role for microRNAs as regulators of angiogenesis.Previous studies addressing the effect of miR-133a expression in endothelial cells during blood vessel

Biological basis of tree-ring formation: a crash course

Wood is of crucial importance for man and biosphere.In this mini review, we present the fundamental processes involved in tree-ring Refrigeration Gas Adaptor formation and intra-annual dynamics of cambial activity, along with the influences of the environmental factors.During wood formation, new xylem cells produced by the cambium are undergoing pr
