Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic polypeptide that activates 2 distinct high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptors, flk-1/KDR and flt-1. In the present study, we characterized the expression of VEGF and its receptors flk-1/KDR and flt-1 in the normal human pancreas and in

Despite the development of more sophisticated diagnostic techniques, it remains difficult to detect pancreatic carcinoma in the early stage. However, the resection rate has been increasing due to recent advances in surgical techniques and the application of extensive surgery.
Activins and inhibins belong to the transforming growth factor-β€ (TGF-β€) superfamily of multifunctional cytokines that bind to transmembrane receptors with serine/threonine kinase activity. In this study, we characterized the levels of expression of 3 activin/inhibin subunits (β€A, β€B, β£), and 2 type
