## Abstract Three different growth factor systems have been described acting via endothelial cellβspecific receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). These are vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs), angiopoietins, and ephrins. Recent studies on gene targeting suggest that they play critical roles in e

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFβC) plays an important role in lymphangiogenesis and activates VEGF receptor 3 (VEGFRβ3). By contrast, lymphatic spread is an important prognostic factor in patients with nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The objective of the
## Abstract ## Background and Methods. VEGF proteins and their receptors are involved in tumor vessel neoformation. The third VEGF receptor, VEGFR3 (fltβ4) is important during both blood vessel development and lymphatic vessel formation. Because HNSCC preferentially metastasizes to regional lymph
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor recpetorβ3 (VEGFRβ3) and its ligands, vascular endothelial growth factorβC (VEGFβC) and βD (VEGFβD), are the major molecules involved in developmental and pathological lymphangiogenesis. Here we describe for the first time the development of a specific
