A pro-angiogenic therapy using the VEGF-VEGFR system. Recent studies suggest that sensory neurons express VEGFR-1 and motoneurons express VEGFR-2. These receptors are biologically functional, and therefore, an appropriate ligand, such as VEGF-E, can be used for pro-angiogenic therapy as well as for neuron protection therapy.
