Clinical significance of VEGF-A, -C and -D expression in esophageal malignancies [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factors ( VEGF)- A, - C and - D are members of the proangiogenic VEGF family of glycoproteins. VEGF-A is known to be the most important angiogenic factor under physiological and pathological conditions, while VEGF-C and VEGF-D

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-C Accelerates Diabetic Wound Healing [PDF]
Diabetes impairs numerous aspects of tissue repair. Failure of wound angiogenesis is known to delay diabetic wound healing, whereas the importance of lymphangiogenesis for wound healing is unclear. We have examined whether overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C via an adenoviral vector could improve the healing of full-thickness ...

Effect of antihypertensive therapy with alpha methyldopa on levels of angiogenic factors in pregnancies with hypertensive disorders. [PDF]
Antihypertensive drugs are believed to lower blood pressure in pre-eclampsia by direct or central vasodilatory mechanisms. However, they could also act by decreasing production of anti-angiogenic proteins involved in the pathophysiology of hypertension ...

Proximal tubule dysfunction is associated with podocyte damage biomarkers nephrin and vascular endothelial growth factor in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: a cross-sectional study. [PDF]
There is an ongoing debate as to whether early diabetic nephropathy in Type 2 diabetes mellitus may be attributed to the glomerulus or to the proximal tubule.

Blocking Fibroblast Growth Factor receptor signaling inhibits tumor growth, lymphangiogenesis, and metastasis. [PDF]
Fibroblast Growth Factor receptor (FGFR) activity plays crucial roles in tumor growth and patient survival. However, FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor) signaling as a target for cancer therapy has been under-investigated compared to other receptor tyrosine ...

Characterization of therapeutic antibodies targeting lymphatic and vascular resistance factor for the treatment of hypervascularized and highly metastatic cancers. [PDF]
LVRF (lymphatic and vascular resistance factor) is a VEGFA splice variant upregulated in response to anti‐angiogenic therapy that fosters tumor adaptation through enhanced vascularization, lymphangiogenesis, and metastatic dissemination. Targeting LVRF with fully human neutralizing antibodies disrupts these processes and limits resistant tumor growth ...

Lymphangiogenesis has been reported in vascularized corneas. However, the molecular mechanisms of lymphangiogenesis in the cornea are still unclear. Since lymphatic vessels may contribute to a decreased success rate of keratoplasty in vascularized cornea by accelerating antigen recognition and graft rejection, elucidation of the mechanisms of corneal ...

Structural and functional characterization of the intracellular kinase domain of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 [PDF]
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGFs) are key players in blood and lymphatic vessel development and homeostasis. The family consists of five members, VEGF-A, -B, -C, -D and placenta growth factor (PLGF).

VEGF-C and podoplanin, as biomarkers of sepsis. An experimental study
Background: Sepsis is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care units. This study explored the possible role of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and podoplanin (PDPN) in sepsis.
