Individual and population based VEGF-endothelial cell processing is modulated by extracellular matrix stiffness

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is required for the development, growth and survival of blood vessels. Endothelial cell behavior is altered by cell substrate stiffness, suggesting that VEGF activity might also be influenced by cell-substrate mechanics. We studied VEGF binding, internalizat...
