Vascular endothelial growth factor B, a novel growth factor for endothelial cells. [PDF]
We have isolated and characterized a novel growth factor for endothelial cells, vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGF-B), with structural similarities to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placenta growth factor. VEGF-B was particularly abundant in heart and skeletal muscle and was coexpressed with VEGF in these and other tissues.

Biology of vascular endothelial growth factors [PDF]
Angiogenesis is the process by which new blood vessels are formed from existing vessels. The vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are considered as key molecules in the process of angiogenesis. The VEGF family currently includes VEGF‐A, ‐B, ‐C, ‐D, ‐E, ‐F and placenta growth factor (PlGF), that bind in a distinct pattern to three structurally ...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, VEGF-A) is a major regulator of physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Several VEGF inhibitors have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of advanced cancer and neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

The biology of vascular endothelial growth factors [PDF]
The discovery of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family members VEGF, VEGF-B, placental growth factor (PlGF), VEGF-C and VEGF-D and their receptors VEGFR-1, -2 and -3 has provided tools for studying the vascular system in development as well as in diseases ranging from ischemic heart disease to cancer.

Angiopoietins differentially influence in vitro angiogenesis by endothelial cells of different origin [PDF]
Angiopoietins are important growth factors for vascular development and quiescence. They are promising targets for pro-or anti-angiogenic therapies in diverse pathologies, but the mechanisms of the ANGPT/TIE2 system are complex and not well understood ...

The Biology of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor [PDF]
The establishment of a vascular supply is required for organ development and differentiation as well as for tissue repair and reproductive functions in the adult1. Neovascularization (angiogenesis) is also implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of disorders.

Trophic and neurotrophic factors in human pituitary adenomas (Review) [PDF]
The pituitary gland is an organ that functionally connects the hypothalamus with the peripheral organs. The pituitary gland is an important regulator of body homeostasis during development, stress, and other processes.

Endothelial Dysfunction in Breast Cancer In-Vivo Model
Although the endothelial dysfunction is related with tumor development, there is no consensus on the suppressive or supportive effect on tumor growth. The goal of the present study was to evaluate endothelial dysfunction related factors in animal breast ...
