Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis in ischemic organs is modulated by immune cells. Systemic neovascularization of the ischemic lung requires macrophages, with chemokines playing a central role in new vessel growth. Because regulatory T (Treg) cells modulate tumor-induced neovascularization, we questioned whether this CD4(+) lymphocyte subset impacts blood vessel growth during ischemia. In a model of left lung ischemia, an increase in...
