Effects of gold nanoparticles on vascular endothelial growth factor-A-induced melanoma cell growth and angiogenesis

Melanoma is a skin cancer that relies on angiogenesis for growth and progression. Angiogenesis is the growth of new vessels from existing vessels and follows a number of steps that include endothelial cell growth, migration and tubulogenesis. Current anti-angiogenic drugs are not effective in the tr...
