Background Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a highly conserved, master
regulatory molecule required for endothelial cell proliferation, organization, migration and …

The mechanisms underlying organ vascularization are not well understood. The zebrafish
intestinal vasculature forms early, is easily imaged using transgenic lines and in-situ …

During embryogenesis, complex morphogenetic events lead endodermal cells to coalesce
at the midline and form the primitive gut tube and associated organs. While several genes …

Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) control angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis
during development and in pathological conditions. In the zebrafish trunk, Vegfa controls the …

Vasculogenesis involves the differentiation of vascular endothelial progenitors de novo from
undifferentiated mesoderm, their migration and coalescence to form the major embryonic …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is expressed robustly in
human colon neoplasia and is a major new “rational” target of therapy for cancers of the …

The pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a common gastrointestinal disease
affecting premature infants, remains poorly understood. We previously found that intestinal …

Prominent among molecules that control neovascular processes is vascular endothelial
growth factor (VEGF). The VEGF ligands comprise a family of well-studied …

Vascular endothelial growth factor C (Vegfc) is a secreted protein that guides lymphatic
development in vertebrate embryos. However, its role during developmental angiogenesis is …

Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and their receptors (VEGFRs) are
quintessential for the development and maintenance of blood and lymphatic vessels …
