Although the roles of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in pathologic neovascularization have been well characterized in certain tissues, their particular functions and expression patterns in choroidal neovascularization (CNV) have not been clearly established.

This work provides evidence for an important role of VAP-1 in the recruitment of macrophages to CNV lesions, establishing a novel link between VAP-1 and angiogenesis.
Selective photodynamic therapy by targeted verteporfin delivery to experimental choroidal neovascularization mediated by a homing peptide to vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2.
To investigate the possible role of TP and doxifluridine in choroidal neovascularization (CNV), the expression level of TP was measured and the effect of doxifluridine was investigated in rat eyes with experimental CNV.
