Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Angiogenesis plays a pivotal role in progression of both solid and hematologic tumors. We have focused on multiple myeloma (MM) and its bone marrow stromal cells which are not only a support for tumor cell survival, but also active inducers of angiogenesis by releasing a broad number of angiogenic cytokines. Also, stromal cells such as macrophages and mast cells can participate in blood vessels formation in MM through other processes, such as a vasculogenic mimicry. Finally, it has been discovered that hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are involved in the vasculogenesis of MM.
