Inhibition of pathological brain angiogenesis through systemic delivery of AAV vector expressing soluble FLT1
The soluble vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor 1 (sFLT1) has been tested in both animals and humans for anti-angiogenic therapies, for example, age-related macular degeneration. We hypothesized...

Adeno-associated viral vector-mediated hypoxia-regulated VEGF gene transfer promotes angiogenesis following focal cerebral ischemia in mice
Uncontrolled expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in vivo may cause unexpected side effects, such as brain hemangioma or tumor growth. Because hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is upregulated ...

Fabrication of carbon nanotube bundles and measurement of field electron emission properties
Carbon nanotube (CNT) bundles are synthesized on rough polycrystalline ceramic wafers by pyrolyzing ferrocene/melamine mixtures through a three-step process in a single stage furnace in an Ar atmosphere. The C...

High-density aligned carbon nanotubes with uniform diameters
A new method was found to synthesize large-area (7 × 15 mm2), high-density (higher than 109 cm−2), aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with uniform diameters on a silica wafer. Ferrocene/melamine mixtures were pyroly...
