Model of hypoxia-induced retinopathy. The collapse of blood vessels in the eye results in a lack of oxygen delivery to the tissue. This hypoxic environment generates signals that cause abnormal blood vessel proliferation, which can be suppressed by angiogenesis inhibitors.

Doppler ultrasound is routinely used in the clinical setting to evaluate blood flow in many major vessels of the body. Spectral Doppler is used to display the normal and abnormal signature waveforms that are unique to each vessel. It is important for the sonographer and the radiologist to recognize both what is ...

Angiogenesis is the process of formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels or endothelial cell progenitors. It plays an essential role in embryogenesis, inflammation, wound healing, tumor growth and metastasis. The tumor microenvironment contains excessive amounts of pro-angiogenic factors derived from neoplastic, stromal, ...

The endothelial cells lining blood vessels are continuously exposed to fluid shear stress generated by pulsatile flow of blood. In order to minimise forces acting on their surface, endothelial cells adapt to shear stress by alignment and migration within the direction of flow. Failure to adapt to shear stress results in endothelial ...
The basal ganglia from 33 patients (all over one year of age) with Down's syndrome were examined pathologically. Forty-five per cent had calcification. Basal ganglia calcification was localised to a constant area of globus pallidus and became more prominent with increased age. Calcification and amyloid degeneration of the adjacent blood vessels were ...
