Functional VEGF and VEGF receptors are expressed in human medulloblastomas [PDF]
Neuro-Oncology, 2007 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the key regulators of tumor neoangiogenesis. It acts through two types of high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptors (VEGF receptor-1 [VEGFR-1]/fms-related tyrosine kinase 1 [Flt-1] and VEGFR-2/kinase domain receptor [KDR]) expressed on endothelial cells.

Platelet lysate-derived neuropeptide y influences migration and angiogenesis of human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells [PDF]
, 2018 Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a powerful neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, is a key regulator of angiogenesis and biology of adipose depots. Intriguingly, its peripheral vascular and angiogenic powerful activity is strictly associated to platelets,

VEGFA, B, C: Implications of the C-Terminal Sequence Variations for the Interaction with Neuropilins
Biomolecules, 2022 Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are the key regulators of blood and lymphatic vessels’ formation and function. Each of the proteins from the homologous family VEGFA, VEGFB, VEGFC and VEGFD employs a core cysteine-knot structural domain for ...

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 ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor production and regulation in rodent and human pituitary tumor cells in vitro [PDF]
, 2001 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 ...
