Abstract excerpt

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a multifunctional cytokine originally described as an angiogenic factor. A number of reports have recently demonstrated that VEGF increases pancreatic islet survival after islet transplantation by stimulating angiogenesis and improving islet revascularization. Whether VEGF can protect from the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells that characterizes...
