High VEGF plasma levels were associated with increased EPC concentration and treatment with an anti-VEGF antibody induced a consensual decrease of both parameters. <em>In vitro</em&gt; cultures of the patient BM cells suggested that the stromal compartment could be responsible for VEGF overproduction.}, number={9}, journal={Haematologica}, author={Vittorio Rosti and Margherita Massa and Rita Campanelli and Mara De Amici and Giovanni Piccolo and Vittorio Perfetti}, year={2007}, month={Sep.}, pages={1291-1292} }
