Several growth factors are potential inducers of neovascularization. This property established from in vitro or in vivo studies suggest that these polypeptides might be involved in physiological angiogenesis. Recent advances in the structure of the growth factors, identification of specific cell surface receptors and in their mechanisms of action bring a better understanding of the biochemical events involved in angiogenesis.
