Background. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a specific endothelial cell mitogen that stimulates angiogenesis and plays a crucial role in tumor growth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of VEGF and of its two high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptors (KDR and Flt-

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND It was recently shown that neuropilinβ1 (NRPβ1), which was described originally as a receptor for the semaphorins/collapsins (ligands involved in neuronal guidance), is a coreceptor for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and increases the affinity of specific isofo
## Abstract The human vascular endothelial growth factor receptorβ1 (VEGFRβ1, or Fltβ1) is widely expressed in normal and pathologic tissue and contributes to the pathogenesis of both neoplastic and inflammatory diseases. In human cancer, VEGFRβ1 mediated signaling is responsible for both direct tu
## 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
