Qiang B, Lim S, Lekas M, Kuliszewski M, Wolff R, Osherov A, et al.
Can J Cardiol . 2014 Sep; 30(11):1444-51. PMID: 25249499
Background: Perlecan is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) constituent of the extracellular matrix with roles in cell growth, differentiation, and angiogenesis. The role of the HS side chains in regulating...

PLoS One . 2012 Oct; 7(9):e43568. PMID: 23049737
The angiopoietins (ANGPT) are ligands for the endothelial cell (EC) receptor tyrosine kinase, Tie2. Angpt-1 is a Tie2 agonist that promotes vascular maturation and stabilization, whereas Angpt-2 is a partial...

Leong-Poi H, Kuliszewski M, Lekas M, Sibbald M, Teichert-Kuliszewska K, Klibanov A, et al.
Circ Res . 2007 Jun; 101(3):295-303. PMID: 17585071
Current methods of gene delivery for therapeutic angiogenesis are invasive, requiring either intraarterial or intramuscular administration. A noninvasive method of gene delivery has been developed using ultrasound-mediated destruction of intravenously...

Lekas M, Lekas P, Latter D, Kutryk M, Stewart D
Curr Opin Cardiol . 2006 Jun; 21(4):376-84. PMID: 16755208
Purpose Of Review: Therapeutic angiogenesis and arteriogenesis represent an alternative treatment modality for patients with advanced ischaemic coronary or peripheral artery occlusive disease, who are unsuitable for standard revascularization procedures....
