Angiogenesis
Research from J.M. Liu et al has provided new information about angiogenesis
January 6th, 2009
According to recent research from France, "The natural tetrapeptide acetyl-SerAsp-Lys-Pro (AcSDKP), generated from thymosin beta 4 following its cleavage by prolyl oligopeptidase (POP), is a physiological stimulator of angiogenesis. Because of the critical role of neovascularisation in tumor development, the expression of AcSDKP and the activity of POP were examined in different human solid malignancies." "The expression of AcSDKP and the activity of POP were evaluated in human blood samples and tissue specimens of thyroid goiter and thyroid papillary carcinoma as well as in commercial cancer tissue microarray. A significantly increased concentration of AcSDKP in...
