Platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) is a 45 kDa single chain polypeptide which stimulates endothelial cell growth and chemotaxis in vitro and angiogenesis in vivo. Analysis of a full length PD-ECGF cDNA revealed an open reading frame coding for 482 amino acids without homology
## Background: Angiogenesis is a prerequisite to cancer growth and metastasis and is induced by a variety of angiogenic factors, including platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (pdecgf). the authors investigated the expression of pdecgf in 58 initial primary bladder carcinomas. ## Method
Background. Tumor growth is dependent on the expansion and proliferation of the host vascular system into the primary neoplasm (angiogenesis). The development of an intact vascular system requires migration and proliferation of endothelial cells and assembly into microvessels. Previous studies in ou
