Low Molecular Mass Non-Protein Angiogenic Factors and Their Role in the Disease Processes

  • Chapter
Angiogenesis in Health and Disease

Abstract

In current times when molecular biology is King attention is generally directed towards protein factors at the expense of perhaps equally important low molecular weight non-protein factors. To a large extent this has been true for angiogenesis. Protein angiogenic factors such as fibroblast growth factors (FGFS) have received disproportionate attention despite being notoriously non-specific for the microvasculature where angiogenesis occurs.
