Bioavailability of VEGF in Tumor-Shed Vesicles Depends on Vesicle Burst Induced by Acidic pH

Bioavailability of VEGF in Tumor-Shed Vesicles Depends on Vesicle Burst Induced by Acidic pH

Tumor angiogenesis is regulated by a dynamic crosstalk between tumor cells and the host microenvironment. Because membrane vesicles shed by tumor cells are known to mediate several tumor—host interactions, we determined whether vesicles might also stimulate angiogenesis. Vesicles shed by human ovari...
