In animal experiments, nerve transection is followed by expression of nerve growth factor receptors (NGFR) on Schwann cells of both motor and sensory nerve fibres distally to the site of the lesion. To determine whether denervated Schwann cells in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) similarly expres
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the main angiogenic cytokines in human solid tumours and inhibition of VEGF-induced angiogenesis suppresses tumour growth. Some groups of malignant lymphoma, including peripheral T-cell lymphomas and Hodgkin's disease, are characterized by a conspi
