Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Vascular Homeostasis
Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2011Vascular 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 beds ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor in the lung
American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2006Vascular 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.

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
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 1998Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a crucial role in angiogenesis in development, in cancer and in other important diseases. VEGF regulates multiple endothelial cell functions including mitogenesis, permeability, vascular tone, and the production of vasoactive molecules.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Angiogenesis
Pharmacological Reviews, 2004Angiogenesis 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

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

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2007
Angiogenesis is a critical process in both physiological development and many pathological processes. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGF receptor (VEGFR) signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in regulating angiogenesis. Many therapeutic agents targeting VEGF and VEGFR are currently in preclinical and clinical development.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Microvascular Permeability
Microcirculation, 1999ABSTRACTVascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGFs) are endogenously produced vascular cytokines which result in angiogenesis, vasodilatation, and increased microvascular permeabilityin vivo. They are endothelial specific and result in mitosis, migration, stress fiber formation and increased permeability of endothelial cells in culture.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Cervical Carcinoma
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1999To quantitate vascular endothelial growth factor of cervical carcinoma and elucidate its clinical correlation.Intratumoral protein levels of vascular endothelial growth factor were measured in 104 cervical cancer patients and in 30 cervical tissue specimens of benign gynecologic diseases as controls. The concentrations were correlated with clinical and
