Vascular endothelial growth factor

Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 1997
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a hypoxia-inducible angiogenesis and vascular permeability factor which is expressed in high amounts in perinecrotic palisading cells in human glioblastomas. In vitro VEGF gene expression is enhanced approximately ten times by hypoxia.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

2003
The striking structural and anatomical parallels between the vasculature and the nervous system is reflected by the fact that these two organ systems appear to use related mechanisms during their development. Thus, it is not surprising that an increasing number of vascular biologists and researchers in the neuroscience field are fascinated by molecules

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Vascular Homeostasis

Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2011
Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the angiogenic factor promoting and orchestrating most, if not all, processes of neovascularization taking place in the embryo and the adult. VEGF is also required to sustain newly formed vessels and plays additional multiple roles in the maintenance and function of certain mature ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor in the lung

American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2006
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a pluripotent growth and permeability factor that has a broad impact on endothelial cell function. The lung tissue is very rich in this protein; many different lung cells produce VEGF and also respond to VEGF.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Angiogenesis

Pharmacological Reviews, 2004
Angiogenesis is a hallmark of wound healing, the menstrual cycle, cancer, and various ischemic and inflammatory diseases. A rich variety of pro- and antiangiogenic molecules have already been discovered. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an interesting inducer of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, because it is a highly specific mitogen for

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Ceskoslovenska fysiologie, 2012
VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor, is a substance firstly described in 1983 as a tumor-secreted protein which causes the development of ascitic fluid in case of abdominal tumors. Its influence on angiogenesis was ascertained by many studies. The strongest stimulus for its production is hypoxia, which leads to higher secretion of VEGF and new ...

Intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor

Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2014
To evaluate whether a specific pre-analytical stabilization regimen is needed for naïve vitreous taps to detect true values of intrinsic VEGF levels.Fourteen consecutive patients with different vitreomacular pathologies without blood-retina-barrier breakdown were scheduled for standard 23-gauge three-port pars plana vitrectomy, and naïve vitreous taps ...

Role of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors in Vascular Development

1999
Distinct cellular processes mediate blood-vessel formation during embryogenesis (Beck and D’Amore 1997; Carmeliet and Collen 1998a; Folkman and D’Amore 1996; Noden 1989; Risau 1997; Wilting and Christ 1996) (Fig. 1). Initially, mesodermal cells differentiate in situ into early haemangioblasts and form cellular aggregates (blood islands), in which the ...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-C A Growth Factor for Lymphatic and Blood Vascular Endothelial Cells

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1998
The endothelial cells lining all vessels of the circulatory system have been recognized as key players in a variety of physiological and pathological settings. They act as regulators of vascular tone via the inducible nitric oxide system and in angiogenesis, the formation of blood vessels de novo. Aberrant regulation of endothelial cells contributes to
