The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenic factor that promotes new blood vessel growth. It is also known as the vascular permeability factor. When overexpressed, vascular endothelial growth factors can cause vascular diseases in the retina and other body parts. Anti-VEGF medicines are used to treat the conditions caused by overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factors.
