VEGF and KDR Gene Expression during Human Embryonic and Fetal Eye Development
22 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: It is important to understand the development of the normal retinal vascular system, because it may provide clues for understanding the mechanisms underlying the neovascularization associated with several retinopathies of infancy and adulthood. However, little is known about normal human ocular vascularization. VEGF is a key growth factor during vascular development and one of its receptors, KDR, plays a...
