Inhibition of Tumor Growth, Angiogenesis, and Microcirculation by the Novel Flk-1 Inhibitor SU5416 as Assessed by Intravital Multi-fluorescence Videomicroscopy

Inhibition of Tumor Growth, Angiogenesis, and Microcirculation by the Novel Flk-1 Inhibitor SU5416 as Assessed by Intravital Multi-fluorescence Videomicroscopy

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a fundamental role in mediating tumor angiogenesis and tumor growth. Here we investigate the direct effect of a novel small molecule inhibitor of the Flk-1-mediated signal transduction pathway of VEGF, SU5416, on tumor angiogenesis and microhemodynamic...
