  • METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PROMOTING ENDOTHELIAL MORPHOGENESIS
    Publication number: 20090181065
    Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention provides methods for promoting endothelial morphogenesis. The methods of this aspect of the invention include the step of providing to one or more endothelial cells an amount of an osteoprotegerin sufficient to promote endothelial morphogenesis. The methods of this aspect of the invention can be practiced in vivo or in vitro. In another aspect, the present invention provides implantable medical devices that each include: (a) a device body; and (b) a layer attached to a surface of the device body, the layer comprising a molecule selected from the group consisting of osteoprotegerin and a nucleic acid molecule encoding osteoprotegerin, wherein the device is adapted to be completely or partially implanted into an animal body. The implanted medical device thus promotes the growth of blood vessels in the surrounding tissue, thereby reducing or preventing the formation of a collagenous capsule around the implanted medical device.

  • Anti-angiogenic peptides and methods of use thereof
    Publication number: 20090047335
    Abstract: Anti-angiogenic peptides that inhibit VEGF-mediated activation or proliferation of endothelial cells are disclosed. Such peptides may be used to inhibit VEGF binding to the VEGFR2 receptor (also known as the kinase domain receptor or KDR). Such peptides may also be used to inhibit VEGF-mediated activation of endothelial cells in angiogenesis-associated diseases such as cancer, inflammatory diseases, eye diseases and skin disorders.
