Abstract

Angiogenesis is a prerequisite for tumor growth and metastatic progression. The discovery of the first specific angiogenic cytokine, VEGF, in 1989 paved the way for the clinical approval of the first antiangiogenic tumor drug 15 years later. This brief commentary highlights and puts into historical perspective the 1985 G.H.A. Clowes Memorial Award Lecture delivered by Dr. Judah Folkman. Thirty years later, this award lecture is a lively testimony of the visionary mind of Dr. Folkman, whose legacy continues to inspire contemporary angiogenesis research.

#67
of 218 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,350,842 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 35,807 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 339,420 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 218 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
