Fibroblast growth factor/fibroblast growth factor receptor system in angiogenesis. (2005, background): “Then, the VEGF family of angiogenic growth factors came to the limelight after the discovery of their pivotal role in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis during embryonic development and under numerous physiologic and pathologic conditions in adults [97].”
Targeting PI3K/Akt signal transduction for cancer therapy (2021, background): “Among the three types, VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 mainly function in endothelial cells, while VEGFR-3 is present in the lymphatic endothelium.(45) The VEGFR extracellular domain binds to VEGF, leading to the dimerization and phosphorylation of the intracellular tyrosine kinase domain and to the activation ”
Tumor refractoriness to anti-VEGF treatment is mediated by CD11b+Gr1+ myeloid cells (2007, background): “VEGF-A is a well-characterized regulator of angiogenesis and several anti-VEGF strategies have been implemente”
Therapeutic Strategies for Enhancing Angiogenesis in Wound Healing (2018, background): “The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family is comprised of five separate growth factors, VEGF-A, -B, -C, -D and placenta growth factor (PlGF) [114].”
Biology of vascular endothelial growth factors (2006, background): “suggested that the VEGF165 is probably the major isoform that brings about the VEGF-A actions [1,15].”
