    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Researchers have identified key angiogenic factors, crucial for vascular system growth regulation. These factors, including fibroblast growth factor and angiogenin, are vital in both normal and diseased states, such as cancer and "angiogenic diseases".

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Molecular Biology
    • Vascular Biology

    Background:

    • Recent advances have led to the purification and gene cloning of several key angiogenic factors.
    • These include acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor, angiogenin, and transforming growth factors alpha and beta.
    • Other angiogenesis factors, including lipids, have also been identified.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To trace the discovery of angiogenic factors.
    • To explore their significance in regulating vascular system growth.
    • To categorize angiogenic factors based on their mechanisms of action.

    Main Methods:

    • Purification of angiogenic factors.
    • Determination of amino acid sequences.
    • Gene cloning of identified polypeptides.

    Main Results:

    • Several angiogenic factors, such as fibroblast growth factors and angiogenin, have been characterized.
    • Angiogenic factors act directly on endothelial cells or indirectly via host cell mobilization.
    • These factors are present in tumors and normal tissues, indicating tight physiological regulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Angiogenic factors play a critical role in vascular system development and disease.
    • Understanding these factors is key to comprehending vascular growth regulation.
    • Pathologic angiogenesis is a hallmark of various nonneoplastic diseases, termed 'angiogenic diseases'.
