Placenta growth factor-1 exerts time-dependent stabilization of adherens junctions following VEGF-induced vascular permeability.

Increased vascular permeability is an early event characteristic of tissue ischemia and angiogenesis. Although VEGF family members are potent promoters of endothelial permeability the role of placental growth factor (PlGF) is hotly debated. Here we investigated PlGF isoforms 1 and 2 and present in v...
