Structural and functional characterization of the intracellular kinase domain of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 [PDF]
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGFs) are key players in blood and lymphatic vessel development and homeostasis. The family consists of five members, VEGF-A, -B, -C, -D and placenta growth factor (PLGF).

The function of vascular endothelial growth factor
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 ...

Kaposin-B enhances the PROX1 mRNA stability during lymphatic reprogramming of vascular endothelial cells by Kaposi's sarcoma herpes virus. [PDF]
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most common cancer among HIV-positive patients. Histogenetic origin of KS has long been elusive due to a mixed expression of both blood and lymphatic endothelial markers in KS tumor cells.

THE ROLE OF DYSLIPIDEMIA IN THE PROGRESSION OF DIABETIC RETINOPATHY
Angiogenesis factors, growth factors (vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-2, insulin-like growth factor, etc.) and cytokines play the leading role in the production by endothelial cells of new retinal blood vessels, increased vascular

Effect of antihypertensive therapy with alpha methyldopa on levels of angiogenic factors in pregnancies with hypertensive disorders. [PDF]
Antihypertensive drugs are believed to lower blood pressure in pre-eclampsia by direct or central vasodilatory mechanisms. However, they could also act by decreasing production of anti-angiogenic proteins involved in the pathophysiology of hypertension ...
