Thrombospondin Function

TSP-1 is released from human blood platelets in response to thrombin treatment and was thus, designated thrombospondin in 1978. Since that time, four other members of the TSP gene family have been discovered. The TSPs are widely expressed in embryonic tissue. However, expression in adult tissue is...

Jack Lawler's thrombospondin research

The Lawler lab's in-depth knowledge of thrombospondin (TSP) structure and function has led to the development of a novel therapeutic for the treatment of ovarian and pancreatic cancer.

Thrombospondin-1-deficient mice exhibit increased vascular density during retinal vascular development and are less sensitive to hyperoxia-mediated vessel obliteration.
