    GlossaryVascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A)

    promotes new blood vessel formation, aiding tissue growth and repair

    Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the formation of new blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis. It is essential for wound healing and the growth of tissues, including hair follicles, by ensuring they receive an adequate blood supply. In medical research, VEGF-A is often studied for its implications in conditions like cancer, where it can promote tumor growth by increasing blood vessel formation.
