Interesting from Reuters:

August 24, 2007 -- CHICAGO - A study in mice finds a new way of starving tumors of their blood supply may cause heart attacks and strokes.

Current drugs that block blood-vessel growth do so from the outside of the cell, and have shown promise in treating cancers with fewer side effects.

Researchers at UCLA wanted to see the effect of blocking vessel growth from inside the cell. More than half of the mice in their study suffered heart attacks and fatal strokes, while those that remained alive became very ill.
