Cellular mechanisms underlying the formation of circulating microparticles
In addition, the peptide seems to promote angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels, possibly via a signalling molecule expressed in many human cancers
Its activity profile is best understood as systems-level: published in vitro and in vivo work has documented effects on fibroblast proliferation, collagen and growth-factor receptor expression, endothelial migration, nitric oxide system signalling, and dopamine and serotonin pathway markers
Some are SBIR-only, some are STTR-only, some are dual-program
