Abstract excerpt
Renal function declines with age and this is more pronounced in males than females. VEGF-A is essential for glomerular development and function but its role in other aspects of renal function is poorly understood. We therefore investigated the role of VEGF-A, derived specifically from haematopoietic and endothelial lineages in the kidney. We crossed VavCre and floxed Vegf-a mice allowing specific ablation of a...
