Spatial and temporal VEGF receptor intracellular trafficking in microvascular and macrovascular endothelial cells

Abstract The vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) can shape the neovascular phenotype of vascular endothelial cells when translocated to the nucleus, however the spatial and temporal changes in the intracellular distribution and translocation of VEGFRs to the nucleus and the organel...
