The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) maintains the choriocapillaris (CC) in the normal eye
and is involved in the pathogenesis of choroidal neovascularization in age-related macular …

Recently, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR‐3) has been shown to provide
a specific marker for lymphatic endothelia in certain human tissues. In this study, we have …

Lymphatic vessels have been difficult to study in detail in normal and tumor tissues because
of the lack of molecular markers. Here, monoclonal antibodies against the extracellular …

BACKGROUND Among the molecules important to angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis is
vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR‐3), a member of the receptor tyrosine …

Despite intensive research over the past decade, the exact lineage relationship of Kaposi's
sarcoma (KS) tumor cells has not yet been settled. In the present study, we investigated the …

It is difficult to identify lymph vessels in tissue sections by histochemical staining, and thus a
specific marker for lymphatic endothelial cells would be more practical in histopathological …

Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) is the only factor known to cause
lymphangiogenesis. We studied the correlation between VEGF-C and vascular endothelial growth …

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR‐3, Flt‐4), the receptor for vascular
endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) C and D, is expressed on lymphatic endothelium and may …

Hobnail hemangioma, also known as “targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma”, represents a
distinctive, benign vascular tumor, characterized histologically by a biphasic growth pattern of …

Six childhood vascular tumors were designated as “malignant endovascular papillary
angioendothelioma” by Dabska in 1969. Since then, a few reports of similar cases were published, …
