... of their fractures caused by persistent cartilage at the injury site. This MMP9- dependent delay in skeletal healing is not due to a lack of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or VEGF receptor expression, but may instead be due to the lack of VEGF bioavailability in the mutant because recombinant VEGF can...

... in endothelial cells and shown to bind vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a potent regulator for vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. However, the roles of neuropilin-1 in vascular formation have been unclear. This paper reported that the neuropilin-1 mutant mouse embryos exhibited various types of vascular...

... secretes high amounts of recombinant vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Furthermore, the neuron-promoting ability of bFGF-producing cells could be mimicked by addition of exogenous bFGF to neural crest cells grown on the parental BHK line. A similar treatment of neural crest cells grown on laminin...

...Georg Breier; Ursula Albrecht; Sylvia Sterrer; Werner Risau ABSTRACT Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a secreted angiogenic mitogen whose target cell specificity appears to be restricted to vascular endothelial cells. Such factors are likely candidates for regulatory molecules involved...
