As its name implies, VEGF-A activity has been studied mostly on cells of the vascular endothelium, although it does have effects on a number of other cell types (e.g., stimulation monocyte/macrophage migration, neurons, cancer cells, kidney epithelial cells ). In vitro, VEGF-A has been shown to stimulate endothelial cell mitogenesis and cell migration. VEGF-A is also a vasodilator and increases microvascular permeability and was originally referred to as vascular permeability factor.
Faktor A (in RussianФактор А) is the Russian version of the The X Factor television talent show franchise. It is broadcasts on Russia 1 television station. The show is named Faktor A (rather than Faktor X), with the letter "A" chosen in honor of Alla Pugacheva, head of the jury. Faktor A debuted in 2011 as a new series 1.
Sekret Uspekha (2005, 2007)
Faktor A is considered a continuation of an earlier Russian show Sekret Uspekha (Russian:Секрет Успеха; English: Secret of Success) that was broadcast on Russia's RTR television station in contrast to this Faktor A series that is being broadcast on Russia1.
There were two series of Sekret Uspekha. The first was in 2005 and title was won by Vladimir Sapovskiy. A second series was broadcast in 2007, and title won by Nikolay Timokhin. The show was cancelled after two series because of insufficient number of viewers.
Although similar in format, the new series Faktor A is considered a whole new series with season 1 starting 2011.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), originally known as vascular permeability factor (VPF), is a signal protein produced by cells that stimulates vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. It is part of the system that restores the oxygen supply to tissues when blood circulation is inadequate. Serum concentration of VEGF is high in bronchial asthma and diabetes mellitus.
VEGF's normal function is to create new blood vessels during embryonic development, new blood vessels after injury, muscle following exercise, and new vessels (collateral circulation) to bypass blocked vessels.
When VEGF is overexpressed, it can contribute to disease. Solid cancers cannot grow beyond a limited size without an adequate blood supply; cancers that can express VEGF are able to grow and metastasize. Overexpression of VEGF can cause vascular disease in the retina of the eye and other parts of the body. Drugs such as aflibercept, bevacizumab, and ranibizumab can inhibit VEGF and control or slow those diseases.
The active ingredient inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is responsible for the excessive formation of blood vessels in the retina.

AVASTIN is a recombinant humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody, which acts as an angiogenesis inhibitor by blocking its target, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) ... thereby preventing tumor growth.
KodiakScience’s KSI-301 is a novel anti-Vascular endothelial growth factor biologic designed to rapidly inhibit Vascular endothelial growth factor and provide extended durability of action to ...
The expressed protein is designed to neutralize vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) activity, modifying the pathway for the formation of new leaky blood vessels and retinal fluid accumulation.
The MacularDiseaseFoundationAustralia cites age as the strongest risk factor ... The most common treatment for wet AMD is anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, or anti-VEGF agents, injections.
Age is a major risk factor for wet macular degeneration ... Other risk factors, according to the National Eye Institute, include.Smoking ... With neovascular AMD, abnormally high levels of vascular endothelial growth factor are secreted in the eyes.
The drug is the brand name for aflibercept, which works by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein that naturally occurs in the body and triggers angiogenesis.
The treatment of wet AMD primarily involves anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) injections, which inhibit the growth of these abnormal blood vessels.
Currently, it’s treated with regular drug injections into the eye to control the growth of the leaky blood vessels. The drugs block VEGF, or vascular endothelial growth factor, a molecule that tells our bodies to make new blood vessels.
