Biology of vascular endothelial growth factors [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2006 Angiogenesis is the process by which new blood vessels are formed from existing vessels. The vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are considered as key molecules in the process of angiogenesis. The VEGF family currently includes VEGF‐A, ‐B, ‐C, ‐D, ‐E, ‐F and placenta growth factor (PlGF), that bind in a distinct pattern to three structurally ...

The biology of vascular endothelial growth factors [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2005 The discovery of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family members VEGF, VEGF-B, placental growth factor (PlGF), VEGF-C and VEGF-D and their receptors VEGFR-1, -2 and -3 has provided tools for studying the vascular system in development as well as in diseases ranging from ischemic heart disease to cancer.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 1993 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, VEGF-A) is a major regulator of physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Several VEGF inhibitors have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of advanced cancer and neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

The Biology of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor [PDF]
Endocrine Reviews, 1997 The establishment of a vascular supply is required for organ development and differentiation as well as for tissue repair and reproductive functions in the adult1. Neovascularization (angiogenesis) is also implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of disorders.

Vascular endothelial growth factors and vascular permeability [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2010 Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are key regulators of permeability. The principal evidence behind how they increase vascular permeability in vivo and in vitro and the consequences of that increase are addressed here. Detailed analysis of the published literature has shown that in vivo and in vitro VEGF-mediated permeability differs in its ...

The role of vascular endothelial growth factor in ossification [PDF]
International Journal of Oral Science, 2012 Osteogenesis and angiogenesis are two closely correlated processes during bone growth, development, remodelling and repair.Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an essential mediator during the process of angiogenesis. Based on an extensive literature search, which was carried out using the PubMed database and the keywords of osteogenesis, VEGF,

The function of vascular endothelial growth factor
BioFactors, 2009 AbstractVascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is considered the master regulator of angiogenesis during growth and development, as well as in disease states such as cancer, diabetes, and macular degeneration. This review details our current understanding of VEGF signaling and discusses the benefits and unexpected side effects of promising anti ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor B, a novel growth factor for endothelial cells. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 We have isolated and characterized a novel growth factor for endothelial cells, vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGF-B), with structural similarities to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placenta growth factor. VEGF-B was particularly abundant in heart and skeletal muscle and was coexpressed with VEGF in these and other tissues.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Induces Heparin-binding Epidermal Growth Factor-like Growth Factor in Vascular Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 Although several cytokines and growth factors have been shown to regulate vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production, little is known about how VEGF may regulate growth factors that have known mitogenic and chemotactic actions on mesenchymal cells (which are involved in the maturation of the angiogenic process).
