Abstract excerpt
A variety of growth factors promote the complex multistep process of angiogenesis. The mitogenic activity of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and placental growth factors (PlGFs), known as cytokines acting predominantly on endothelial cells, was tested on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and microvascular endothelial cells (MIEC) and compared with the potency of the universally acting...
