VEGF vascularization pathway in human intervertebral disc does not change during the disc degeneration process

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Objective During degeneration of the intervertebral disc ingrowth of blood vessels and nerves into the disc are associated with back pain. Vascular endothelial growth factors promote vasculogenesis by binding to the membrane vascular endothelial growth ...

Expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factors A and C in patients with peptic ulcers and gastric cancer [PDF]

, 2014
Purpose: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important growth factors for metastatic tumors. To clarify the role of VEGF-A and C in patients with peptic ulcer disease (PUD) or gastric cancer (GC), we evaluated the expression ...

Positive and negative regulation of angiogenesis by soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 [PDF]

, 2018
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-1 exists in different forms, derived from alternative splicing of the same gene. In addition to the transmembrane form, endothelial cells produce a soluble VEGFR-1 (sVEGFR-1) isoform, whereas non ...

Mesenchymal adenomatous polyposis coli plays critical and diverse roles in regulating lung development. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundAdenomatous polyposis coli (Apc) is a tumor suppressor that inhibits Wnt/Ctnnb1. Mutations of Apc will not only lead to familial adenomatous polyposis with associated epithelial lesions, but will also cause aggressive fibromatosis in ...
