The formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) is critical for both embryonic
development and a variety of normal postnatal physiological processes. Various
pathological processes, most notably tumour growth and chronic inflammation, are also
known to be dependent on the new vessel formation. Amongst the variety of factors that
contribute to the regulation of this complex process, vascular endothelial growth factor
(VEGF or VEGF-A) is arguably the most well characterised. The VEGF family of growth …
