Cartilage type IIB procollagen NH2-propeptide, PIIBNP, inhibits angiogenesis
Cartilage tissue is avascular and resistant to tumor invasion, but the basis for these properties is still unclear. Here we report that the NH2-propeptide of type IIB procollagen (PIIBNP), a product of collagen biosynthesis, is capable of inhibiting angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. PIIBNP inh...
