Soluble VEGF isoforms are essential for establishingepiphyseal vascularization and regulating chondrocyte development and survival
2004-01-06
Abstract excerpt
VEGF is crucial for metaphyseal bone vascularization. In contrast, the angiogenic factors required for vascularization of epiphyseal cartilage are unknown, although this represents a developmentally and clinically important aspect of bone growth. The VEGF gene is alternatively transcribed into VEGF 120 , VEGF 164 , and VEGF 188 isoforms that differ in matrix association and receptor binding. Their role in bone dev...
