Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis-associated signaling is a fundamental component in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix in response to loading. Genes encoding protein components within this signaling cascade are therefore suitable candidates for investigation into ACL injury susceptibility: namely, vascular endothelial growth factor A isoform (VEGFA), kinase insert-domain receptor (KDR), nerve growth factor (NGF), and hypoxia...
