Evaluating the Expression of Angiogenic Mediators in a Mouse Model of Tumor Metastasis
Solid tumors typically require angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels, for growth and metastasis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induces angiogenesis by activating receptors on host endothelial cells. One such receptor, Flt-1, occurs as either a membrane bound or a secreted fo...
