N-VEGF, the autoregulatory arm of VEGF-A [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is a secreted protein that stimulates angiogenesis in response to hypoxia. Under hypoxic conditions, a non-canonical long isoform called L-VEGF is concomitantly expressed with VEGF-A. Once translated, L-VEGF it is proteolytically cleaved to generate N-VEGF and VEGF-A. Interestingly, while VEGF-A is secreted

Evaluation of effect of epidermal growth factor receptor and vascular endothelial growth factor overexpression in survival of patients with glioblastoma multiforme [PDF]
Background. In the central nervous system, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most important neoplasms in adults. Amplification of EGFR and VEGF genes is common in GBM. However, the role of overexpression of EGFR and VEGF in survival of patients

Correlation of Vascular and Inflammatory Index in Oral Pyogenic Granuloma and Periapical Granuloma – An Insight into Pathogenesis [PDF]
Introduction: Angiogenesis is vital in the aetiology and pathogenesis of a number of pathological processes that include solid reactive lesions like pyogenic granuloma and chronic inflammatory disorders like periapical granuloma. Vascular Endothelial

Quantitative expression of VEGF, VEGF-R1, VEGF-R2, and VEGF-R3 in melanoma tissue microarrays [PDF]
Angiogenesis is required for progression and metastasis of melanoma. Analysis of angiogenic molecules in benign and malignant tissues may allow identification of markers useful for prediction of sensitivity to antiangiogenic agents. We hypothesized that differential expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors VEGF-R1, VEGF-

Engineered microenvironments for synergistic VEGF - integrin signalling during vascularization [PDF]
We have engineered polymer-based microenvironments that promote vasculogenesis both in vitro and in vivo through synergistic integrin-growth factor receptor signalling. Poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA) triggers spontaneous organization of fibronectin (FN) into
