The role of lipid second messengers in angiogenesis and the vascular endothelium response to radiation.

The findings presented in this dissertation identify cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) as a key component in tumor angiogenesis and the response of vascular endothelial cells to therapeutic doses of ionizing radiation (2-5 Gy). Through extensive experimental analysis, the described results demonstr...
