Quantifying the Proteolytic Release of Extracellular Matrix-Sequestered VEGF with a Computational Model

BACKGROUND: VEGF proteolysis by plasmin or matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is believed to play an important role in regulating vascular patterning in vivo by releasing VEGF from the extracellular matrix (ECM). However, a quantitative understanding of the kinetics of VEGF cleavage and the efficiency...
