Do blood vessels that feed tumours differ from other blood vessels? Fourteen years ago, experiments designed to answer that question led to the discovery of several genes that are more active in tumour-associated blood vessels than in normal blood vessels. New research from the Johns Hopkins University now reveals the normal function of one of those genes and suggests it could be a good target … Continue reading Blood vessel growth in the brain relies on a protein found in tumour blood vessels.
