Vascular Biology Discovery

[Guest guest]

Seeing that petelex2001 (thank you, and I look forward to reading

it!) posted the article regarding SSRIs and flushing, I wanted to post

an article from the science journal Nature which talks about the

discovery of body-specific VEGF. For example, scientists at the

company Genentech found a VEGF that was specifically for the female

endrocrine system. They think it might help grow tumors faster in

that area. To make a bit of a stretch, perhaps there is a VEGF factor

specifically for the face which causes rosacea.

Here is the link. You do have to register to read the entire article,

but it's free to register.
