Lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis: concurrence and/or dependence? Studies in inbred mouse strains
26 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Genetic background significantly affects angiogenesis in mice. However, lymphangiogenic response to growth factors (GFs) in different strains has not been studied. We report constitutive expression of corneal lymphatics that extends beyond the limits of normal limbal vessels. In untreated corneas, the total number (P=0.006), the number above blood vessels (P=10(-8)), and the area of preexisting lymphatics...
