15 Mar 1996
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important regulator of endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and permeability during embryonic vasculogenesis as well as in physiological and pathological angiogenesis. The recently isolated VEGF-B and VEGF-C cDNAs encode novel growth factor genes of the VEGF family. METHODS AND RESULTS: Southern blotting and polymerase chain reaction analysis of...
