摘要:
The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods forliverproliferation and protection. Specifically useful are VEGFR modulating agentscapable ofpromoting liver growth. For example, VEGFR modulating agents include Flt-1agonistsselected from the group consisting of P1GF, VEGF-B, and a Flt-1 selectivevariant (Flt-sel)that selectively binds to Flt-1. Disclosed compositions and methods may beuseful forpromoting proliferation or treating pathological conditions in other organs ofsignificantbiological functions.
