Angiopoietin‐2: a multifaceted cytokine that functions in both angiogenesis and inflammation

Scholz, Alexander, Plate, Karl H., Reiss, Yvonne·2015·Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Angiogenesis and inflammation are two highly linked processes. In the last decade, several factors with dual function in both of these major pathways have been identified. This review focuses on angiopoietin‐2 (Ang‐2), an important proangiogenic factor that has more recently been implicated in mediating inflammatory processes as well. Ang‐2 is upregulated in multiple inflammatory diseases and has been implicated in the direct control of inflammation‐related signaling pathways. As a consequence of its multiple roles, designs for therapeutic targeting of Ang‐2 should consider the dual function of this factor in regulating angiogenesis and inflammation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
