The power of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) family molecules

Cell Mol Life Sci. 2013 May;70(10):1673-4. doi: 10.1007/s00018-013-1276-6. Epub 2013 Mar 12.

Abstract

Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and their high-affinity tyrosine kinase VEGF receptors (VEGFRs) are key regulators of both angiogenesis and neurogenesis. The current issue of CMLS discusses recent literature and work implementing these signals in nervous system development, maintenance and disease pathology.
