Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) assemble in dimers, the composition of which is thought to influence their function. Here, Cudmoreet al. create a synthetic ligand that specifically activates VEGFR-1:VEGFR-2 heterodimers and explore their role in regulating endothelial cell function.
