Despite its early discovery and high sequence homology to the other VEGF family members,
the biological function of VEGF-B remained debatable for a long time, and VEGF-B has …

VEGF-B, a homolog of VEGF discovered a long time ago, has not been considered an
important target in antiangiogenic therapy. Instead, it has received little attention from the …

Despite its early discovery and high sequence homology to the other VEGF family members,
the biological functions of VEGF-B remain poorly understood. We revealed here a novel …

No other member of the VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) family has been as
mysterious as VEGF-B. Notwithstanding its name, VEGF-B can hardly be regarded as a …

Both blood vessels and nerves are guided to their target. Vascular endothelial growth factor
(VEGF) A is a key signal in the induction of vessel growth (a process termed angiogenesis) …

Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (abbreviated throughout this review as VEGF) is mostly
known for its angiogenic activity, for its activity as a vascular permeability factor, and for its …

Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF‐A) belongs to a family of heparin binding growth
factors that include VEGF‐B, VEGF‐C, VEGF‐D, and placental‐like growth factor (PLGF) …

More than a decade ago, when we first embarked on our journey to delineate the biological
function of vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGF-B), we had a hard time …

VEGF and TGF-β1 are potent angiogenesis inducers with opposing effects on endothelial
cells. TGF-β1 induces apoptosis; VEGF protects endothelial cells from apoptosis. We found …

Angiogenesis is a crucial process for tissue development, repair, and tumor survival.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key driver secreted by cancer cells …
