Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis, a process of new blood vessel formation, is crucial not only for many physiological events but also for a number of diseases. The signaling pathways through members of the vesicular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family play fundamental roles in angiogenesis. In this study, we identified inhibitory RNA aptamers against human Flt-1, a receptor of VEGF. One of the isolates, aptamer #38, showed a 50%...
