VEGFA
Cardiovascular System · Angiogenesis & Lymphangiogenesis
Does VEGFA only make blood vessels grow in tumors?
VEGFA produces a growth signal that helps blood-vessel lining cells multiply and move. The same process supports normal tissue needs and can also be recruited by tumors, making the context essential to interpretation.
