What is vascular endothelial growth factor?
Vascular Endothelial Growth FactorVasular Endothelial Growth Factor, or VEGF, is a signaling protein that is involved in the formation of the embryonic circulatory system and the growth of blood vessel from those that already exist.VEGF has been associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer, making anti-VEGF treatments important in the treatment of breast cancer.
How do you know if you have vascular endothelial growth factor-antisense oligonucleotide?
by the time you find out it's too late because it is in fact lethal
Can anemia lead to oedema?
anemia causes increased production of vascular endothelial relaxing factor that causes dilatation of the vasculature producing oedema.

What pathologies are associated with endothelial cell dysfunction?
Thrombosis, atherosclerosis, and hypertensive vascular lesions.

Is a vascular tissue made up of tightly packed cells that make up the internal linings of some animals?
Endothelial cells form the vascular network but acquire very different characteristics depending on their location. In the brain, endothelial cells are tightly packed to provide the brain-blood barrier that protects the brain from blood toxins. In the endocrine gland, endothelial cells are leaky and cause fenestrations to allow hormone trafficking throughout the body. In general, how tightly packed vascular network cells are depends on which area they are located.

Are lymphatic capillaries permeable to proteins?
Lymphatic capillaries are dead-end vessels interspersed between the vascular capillaries. They lack tight junctions between endothelial cells and therefore are more permeable to proteins than are vascular capillaries.
The endothelial cells of the blood vessel produce two important chemicals involved in hemostasis prostacyclin and?
von Willebrand factor
When white blood cells squeeze through the endothelial cells to a damage site the process is called?
It is called leukocyte extravasation - as in Leukocyte (white blood cell) extra- (outside) -vas- (vascular) -ation
How does angiogenesis work?
In low oxygen gene regulatory protein called HIF-1 stimulates the transcription of the VEGF gene, the Vascular endothelial growth factor. This causes the endothelial cells to use proteases to digest there way through and bring new blood to the cells. This can also happen in cancers cells and this how cancer tumors can become vascularized. In a disorder called VHL - Von hippel-lindau. They are only born with one functioning copy of the VHL gene, mutations occur and they get random cancer throughout there body.
