    Glossary Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

    stimulates new blood vessel formation

    Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is a protein that stimulates the formation of new blood vessels. It plays a crucial role in both normal processes like wound healing and the growth of hair, as well as in pathological conditions such as cancer, where it can promote tumor growth by increasing blood supply.
