Abstract:

Embryonic development involves the establishment of new patterns of vascular growth in the fetus and within the lining of the womb. A factor, human uterine angiogenesis factor, has been purified from the decidua and stimulates the growth of blood vessels in collagen sponge implants and in the chick chorioallantoic membrane. Evidence is presented that suggests that a major active component of human uterine angiogenesis factor is an activator of latent matrix metalloproteinases, of low M(r), called endothelial-cell-stimulating angiogenesis factor and that this factor is present in substantial quantities in a number of embryonic tissues.
