pubmed:abstractText
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, is an essential step in the process of tendon healing and tendon graft remodelling, e.g. after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. To address the question of whether platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) could influence vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in tenocytes, we challenged primary cultures of rat tenocytes with different stimulators (hypoxia, PDGF) and measured their VEGF secretion.
