Regulation of human feto-placental endothelial barrier integrity by vascular endothelial growth factors: competitive interplay between VEGF-A165a, VEGF-A165b, PIGF and VE-cadherin (2017)
Journal Article
Pang, V., Bates, D. O., & Leach, L. (2017). Regulation of human feto-placental endothelial barrier integrity by vascular endothelial growth factors: competitive interplay between VEGF-A165a, VEGF-A165b, PIGF and VE-cadherin. Clinical Science, 131(23), 2763-2775. https://doi.org/10.1042/CS20171252

The human placenta nourishes and protects the developing fetus whilst influencing maternal physiology for fetal advantage. It expresses several members of the VEGF family including the pro-angiogenic/pro-permeability VEGF-A165a isoform, the anti-angi...

Vascular endothelial growth factor-A165b ameliorates outer-retinal barrier and vascular dysfunction in the diabetic retina (2017)
Journal Article
Ved, N., Hulse, R. P., Bestall, S. M., Donaldson, L. F., Bainbridge, J. W., & Bates, D. O. (2017). Vascular endothelial growth factor-A165b ameliorates outer-retinal barrier and vascular dysfunction in the diabetic retina. Clinical Science, 131(12), 1225-1243. https://doi.org/10.1042/CS20170102

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of blindness in the developed world. Characteristic features of DR are retinal neurodegeneration, pathological angiogenesis and breakdown of both the inner and outer retinal barriers of the retin...

Pharmacology of modulators of alternative splicing (2017)
Journal Article
Bates, D. O., Morris, J. C., Oltean, S., & Donaldson, L. F. (2017). Pharmacology of modulators of alternative splicing. Pharmacological Reviews, 69(1), https://doi.org/10.1124/pr.115.011239

More than 95% of genes in the human genome are alternatively spliced to form multiple transcripts, often encoding proteins with differing or opposing function. The control of alternative splicing is now being elucidated, and with this comes the oppor... Read More about Pharmacology of modulators of alternative splicing.
