Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a chemical produced by the body’s cells that stimulates the body to grow new blood vessels. It plays a key role in regulating the growth of the body’s blood vessels.
Abnormal levels of VEGF can cause excessive growth of blood vessels, which can contribute to the growth of tumours and conditions such as macular degeneration.
