Vasular 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.
by the time you find out it's too late because it is in fact lethal

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.
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.
No, mosses do not have secondary growth. Secondary growth takes place in vascular plants. Mosses are non-vascular.
The primary growth in vascular plants takes place with the differentiation of vascular tissue from parenchymatous cells and the secondary growth takes place when the intra-vascular and inter vascular cambium adds to the secondary phloem and secondary xylem.

no there is no cambium present in monocot roots.
