PEDF: Raising Both Hopes and Questions in Controlling Angiogenesis
New work by Bouck and colleagues now gives evidence that a natural protein, pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), is a potent inhibitor of abnormal blood vessel growth in a murine model of ocular neovascularization. This provides compelling evidence that PEDF may be pivotal in controlling both n...

Zusammenfassung: | New work by Bouck and colleagues now gives evidence that a natural protein, pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), is a potent inhibitor of abnormal blood vessel growth in a murine model of ocular neovascularization. This provides compelling evidence that PEDF may be pivotal in controlling both normal and abnormal blood vessel growth. |
