Abstract
At homeostasis, vascular cells display a very low proliferative rate and a scant migratory activity. However, hyperplastic growth and locomotion of vascular cells are a hallmark of vascular remodeling during several pathophysiological conditions (e. g., neovascularization, arteriosclerosis and restenosis post-angioplasty). Thus, a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that control vascular cell proliferation and migration should facilitate the development of novel therapies to treat cardiovascular disease. In this review, we will discuss recent studies implicating the cell cycle regulatory protein p27Kip1 as a key modulator of vascular cell growth and locomotion in vitro and during vascular remodeling in vivo.

Ischemic Cardiovascular Diseases: Mechanisms, Diagnosis and Therapy
Ischemic cardiovascular disease includes myocardial infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, angina pectoris, etc., constitute the leading cause of patient mortality by preventing tissues from getting sufficient oxygen and nutrients. Ischemic heart disease, as a clinical condition, is characterized by myocardial ischemia, causing an imbalance between myocardial blood supply and demand, ...read more
TREATMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN CHRONIC AND END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE
Cardiovascular disease still remains the leading cause of death in Chronic and End Stage Kidney Disease, accounting for more than half of all deaths in dialysis patients. During the past decade, research has been focused on novel therapeutic agents that might delay or even reverse cardiovascular disease and vascular calcification, ...read more
