<i>Leishmania major</i> Infection–Induced VEGF-A/VEGFR-2 Signaling Promotes Lymphangiogenesis That Controls Disease
30 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
Cutaneous leishmaniasis causes a spectrum of diseases from self-healing to severe nonhealing lesions. Defining the factors contributing to lesion resolution may help in developing new therapies for those patients with chronic disease. We found that infection with Leishmania major increases the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 and is...
