Altered ratios of pro‐ and anti‐angiogenic VEGF ‐A variants and pericyte expression of DLL4 disrupt vascular maturation in infantile haemangioma
9 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
Infantile haemangioma (IH), the most common neoplasm in infants, is a slowly resolving vascular tumour. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), which consists of both the pro- and anti-angiogenic variants, contributes to the pathogenesis of IH. However, the roles of different VEGF-A variants in IH progression and its spontaneous involution is unknown. Using patient-derived cells and surgical specimens, we...
