The Role of VEGF and VEGF Receptors in Carcinogenesis [PDF]
Journal of Carcinogenesis & Mutagenesis, 2012 The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family and its associated cognate receptors are critical components of angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation. Under normal conditions, angiogenesis supports organism development and tissue homeostasis in a tightly controlled fashion.

VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) Induces NRP1 (Neuropilin-1) Cleavage via ADAMs (a Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase) 9 and 10 to Generate Novel Carboxy- Terminal NRP1 Fragments That Regulate Angiogenic Signaling [PDF]
, 2018 OBJECTIVE: NRP1(neuropilin-1) acts as a coreceptor for VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) with an essential role in angiogenesis. Recent findings suggest that posttranslational proteolytic cleavage of VEGF receptors may be an important mechanism

Dual-function injectable angiogenic biomaterial for the repair of brain tissue following stroke. [PDF]
, 2018 Stroke is the primary cause of disability due to the brain's limited ability to regenerate damaged tissue. After stroke, an increased inflammatory and immune response coupled with severely limited angiogenesis and neuronal growth results in a stroke ...

Nuclear β-arrestin1 is a critical cofactor of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α signaling in endothelin-1-induced ovarian tumor progression [PDF]
, 2016 Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) mediates the response to hypoxia or other stimuli, such as growth factors, including endothelin-1 (ET-1), to promote malignant progression in numerous tumors.
