Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis is the development of a novel vascular network from a pre-existing structure. Blocking angiogenesis is an attractive strategy to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis formation. Based on structural and mutagenesis data, we have developed novel cyclic peptides that mimic, simultaneously, two regions of the VEGF crucial for the interaction with the VEGF receptors. The peptides, displaying the best...
