What is VEGF-A?

VEGF-A (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A) is a growth factor secreted by macrophages, platelets, endothelial cells, and many tumor cells. It is the principal driver of angiogenesis and vascular permeability and also exerts important immunomodulatory effects. VEGF-A is a cornerstone marker for researchers in cancer, wound healing, and vascular biology.
