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
Growth factors may play an important role in tumour growth and angiogenesis by their influence on tumour cell proliferation or their effect on neovascularization. The aim of the present study was to determine which of the growth factors, growth-inhibiting factors, and their receptors investigated in
Development of the nervous system depends on signals that instruct neurons when to divide, differentiate, survive, or die. There are now two known distinct classes of factors noted for their neurotrophic activities-the family of factors collectively known as the neurotrophins, and ciliary neurotroph
