VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 involvement in extracellular galectin-1- and galectin-3-induced angiogenesis.

AIM: Accumulating evidence suggests that extracellular galectin-1 and galectin-3 promote angiogenesis. Increased expression of galectin-1 and/or galectin-3 has been reported to be associated with tumour progression. Thus, it is critical to identify their influence on angiogenesis. METHODS: We examin...
