Signaling via Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors
Angiogenesis, or development of blood vessels from preexisting vasculature, has important functions under both normal and pathophysiological conditions. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3, also known as flt-1, KDR, and flt-4, are endothelial cell-specific receptor tyrosine kinases which serve as key mediators of the angiogenic responses ...

Vascular Targeted Agents for the Treatment of Angiosarcoma [PDF]
Background: Angiogenesis is the process of new blood vessel formation, and is regulated by angiogenic growth factors including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Angiosarcomas are rare, aggressive vascular tumours.

Signal transduction by vascular endothelial growth factor receptors. [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are master regulators of vascular development and of blood and lymphatic vessel function during health and disease in the adult. It is therefore important to understand the mechanism of action of this family of five mammalian ligands, which act through three receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs).

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 ...

Intraluminal application of vascular endothelial growth factor enhances healing of microvascular anastomosis in a rat model [PDF]
Background: Early reconstitution after injury to the endothelium is an important feature for reducing a number of vessel wall pathologies. We investigated the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) and its impact on the vascular remodeling ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor production and regulation in rodent and human pituitary tumor cells in vitro [PDF]
Angiogenesis, the formation of a new blood supply, is an essential step in tumorigenesis. Although vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to be a very potent angiogenic factor in most solid tumors, little is known about its production and ...

Vascular protection by angiotensin receptor antagonism involves differential VEGF expression in both hemispheres after experimental stroke. [PDF]
We identified that the angiotensin receptor antagonist, candesartan, has profound neurovascular protective properties when administered after ischemic stroke and was associated with a proangiogenic state at least partly explained by vascular endothelial ...

Exercise Training Ameliorates The Tramadol-Induced Toxicity on VEGF/VEGFRs/PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway in Testicular Tissue after Tramadol Withdrawal [PDF]
Background: The study investigated how exercise training protocols (ETPs) with different intensities can amelioratethe tramadol (TRA)-induced toxicity in the testicular tissue by upregulating VEGF/VEGFRs/PI3K/AKT signalingpathway in the post-withdrawal ...
