  • Title: [Angiogenesis--vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors].
    Author: Shibuya M.
    Journal: Hum Cell; 1999 Mar; 12(1):17-24. PubMed ID: 10457901.
    Abstract:
    Angiogenesis is a crucial biological process not only in the formation of cardiovascular system and organization of tissues in embryo but also in a variety of diseases including solid tumor growth and diabetic retinopathy. Several protein factors crucial for regulation of angiogenesis have recently been identified. Among these factors, VEGF is considered to be the most important regulator for vascular endothelial cell growth and differentiation both in physiological and pathological conditions. Relationship between VEGF and other regulatory factors such as Angiopoietins should be elucidated to further understand the dynamic process of angiogenesis.
