Abstract:
The present invention provides methods of modulating angiogenesis in an individual, the methods generally involving administering to an individual an agent that modulates the expression or activity of Egfl7, where an agonist of Egfl7, including an Egfl7 polypeptide, decreases angiogenesis. In one embodiment, the methods of the invention relate to inhibiting pathological angiogenesis by enhancing activity of Egfl7, which method may be carried out in conjunction with administration of one or more other anti-angiogenic agents.
