VEGFR-3 signaling plays an important role in developmental, physiological, and pathological angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. Tammela et al. in Nature show that VEGFR-3, via Notch regulation, is present on endothelial tip cells and is critical to sprouting angiogenesis.
血管内皮生长因子受体-3(VEGFR-3)信号传导在发育、生理和病理状态下的血管生成及淋巴管生成过程中发挥着重要作用。塔梅拉等人在《自然》杂志上发表的研究表明,VEGFR-3通过Notch调节作用,存在于内皮尖端细胞上,并且对发芽血管生成至关重要。
