Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, a Potent and Selective Angiogenic Agent
Open accessAbstract
The vascular system is essential for providing oxygen and nutrients, removing metabolic waste products, and furnishing efficient access of leukocytes to tissues throughout larger animals. Angiogenesis, the sprouting of new capillaries, is required for the development of the vascular system and, consequently, the growth of vertebrates. Angiogenic proteins, including several from the fibroblast growth factor family, were identified and purified in the 1980s. They were, however, found to be mitogenic not only for vascular endothelial cells but also for a wide variety of other types of cells and appeared to promote angiogenesis as part of coordinated tissue growth and repair.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
