Vascular endothelial growth factor C promotes survival of retinal vascular endothelial cells via vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 [PDF]
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2006 To determine vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) expression in retinal endothelial cells, its antiapoptotic potential and its putative role in diabetic retinopathy.Cultured retinal endothelial cells and pericytes were exposed to tumour necrosis factor (TNF)alpha and VEGF-C expression determined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain ...

Relationship of VEGF/VEGFR with immune and cancer cells: staggering or forward?
Cancer Biology & Medicine, 2016 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is primarily known as a proangiogenic factor and is one of the most important growth and survival factors affecting the vascular endothelium.

The structural and functional characterization of the extracellular domain of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors : their role in receptor activation and use as therapeutic targets [PDF]
, 2012 : The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family plays key roles in the development of the blood and lymphatic vasculature. Five members, VEGF A, B, -C, -D, and PlGF can be found in the human body.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-1 Expression in Breast Cancer and Its Correlation to Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A [PDF]
International Journal of Breast Cancer, 2013 VEGF-A is the most potent angiogenic factor in tumour angiogenesis. Its effects are mediated via two receptors VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2. Primary aim of our study was to examine the expression of VEGFR-1 in breast cancer and its correlation to VEGF expression, lymph node status, tumour size, histological grade, and hormone receptor status.

Targeting tumor vasculature [PDF]
, 2009 Targeting tumor vasculature is the common theme for the three separate studies presented in this thesis. The studies comprise the roles of components of three signaling pathways (networks) in several steps of blood vessel formation, and related tumor ...

VEGFR1-tyrosine kinase signaling in pulmonary fibrosis
Inflammation and Regeneration, 2021 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is not only an important factor for angiogenesis but also lung development and homeostasis. VEGF-A binds three tyrosine kinase (TK) receptors VEGFR1–3.

Cellular mechanisms during vascular development [PDF]
, 2012 The vascular system is an essential organ in vertebrate animals and provides the organism with enough oxygen and nutrients. It is composed of an interconnected network of blood vessels, which form using a number of different morphogenetic mechanisms ...
