Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from pre–-existing ones, is central for both
normal development and homeostasis as well as in certain pathological conditions. The …

The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGF receptor system plays a central
regulatory role in physiological and pathological angiogenesis. During embryogenesis, the …

Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) regulate blood and lymphatic vessel
development and homeostasis but also have profound effects on neural cells. VEGFs are …

The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family of ligands and receptors has been the
focus of attention in vascular biology for more than a decade. There is now a consensus that …

VEGFs (vascular endothelial growth factors) control vascular development during
embryogenesis and the function of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the adult. There …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has proven to be the most critical angiogenic
factor identified to date; its discovery has transformed the field of angiogenesis research …

The establishment of a vascular supply is one of the earliest and most important events
occurring during embryonic development. Growth and maturation of a functional vascular …

Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are critical regulators of vascular and lymphatic
function during development, in health and in disease. There are five mammalian VEGF …

1. ABSTRACT A considerable progress has been made during the past years in elucidating
the molecular actors of angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor turned out to …

The existence of angiogenic factors was initially postulated on the basis of the strong
neovascular response induced by transplanted tumors. Subsequently, it was shown that …
