Vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growth factor:A multifunctional angiogenic cytokine

1997
VPF/VEGF is a multifunctional cytokine that contributes to angiogenesis by both direct and indirect mechanisms. On the one hand, VPF/VEGF stimulates the endothelial cells lining nearby microvessels to proliferate, to migrate and to alter their pattern of gene expression.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Central Nervous System Injuries – A Vascular Growth Factor Getting Nervous?

Current Neurovascular Research, 2008
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is recognized as a central factor in growth, survival and permeability of blood vessels in both physiological and pathological conditions. It is as such of importance for vascular responses in various central nervous system (CNS) disorders.

Vascular endothelial growth factor, a specific regulator of angiogenesis

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1996
Vascular endothelial growth factor is a diffusible endothelial cell-specific mitogen and angiogenic factor that can also increase vascular permeability. The vascular endothelial growth factor receptors are specifically expressed on the cell surface of vascular endothelial cells.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in Astrocytic Gliomas – A Prognostic Factor?

Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 1999
Survival in astrocytic gliomas is closely related to WHO tumor grade. Within one tumor grade, especially in grade II and III tumors, the clinical course is variable and can hardly be predicted by histological criteria. Neovascularization is a neuropathological hallmark in high grade gliomas and angiogenic factors may play an important role in malignant

Vascular endothelial growth factor in CSF

Neurology, 2000
To determine the value of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in CSF as a marker for carcinomatous meningitis (CM).The concentration of VEGF was measured by ELISA in matched samples of CSF and serum collected from 162 patients. These included patients with solid tumors with CM (n = 11) or brain metastases without concomitant CM (n = 12 ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor-A, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 and angiopoietin-2 expression in the mouse choroid plexuses

Brain Research, 2004
In this study, for the first time, we investigated about the localization of VEGF-A, VEGFR-2 and Ang-2 in the choroid plexuses of the adult mouse by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Results showed that VEGF-A stained epithelial cells, while anti-VEGFR-2 and -Ang-2 antibodies stained endothelial cells.

Vascular permeability factor and vascular endothelial growth factor in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: a preliminary report

Fertility and Sterility, 1996
To determine whether serum levels of vascular permeability factor (VPF) are elevated in patients with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and to determine if luteinizing granulosa cells may be a source of VPF.Prospective observational study.University IVF and GIFT program.Eight consecutive IVF and GIFT patients at high risk for OHSS.Vascular ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor, a multifunctional polypeptide.

Puerto Rico health sciences journal, 1997
Angiogenesis, the sprouting of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, is a complex, multicellular phenomenon involving capillary endothelial cell (EC) proliferation, migration, and tissue infiltration. The elucidation of the biochemical and molecular factors which control angiogenesis is fundamental to our understanding of normal blood vessel ...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor is a Chemoattractant for Trophoblast Cells

Placenta, 2003
A role for angiogenic growth factors in trophoblast invasion has been postulated. Directional motility (chemotaxis) is an important function of trophoblast cells. We have previously shown that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) increases the random movement of trophoblast cells although placental growth factor (PlGF) has no effect.

[Vascular endothelial growth factor. A vascular growth factor of high specificity].

Lakartidningen, 1995
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is regulated by angiogenic growth factor. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a recently discovered growth factor that, in contrast to other growth factors with angiogenic activity, acts specifically on the vascular endothelium. VEGF is involved in the induction of new blood vessel formation in
