Macrophage-Mediated Tissue Vascularization: Similarities and Differences Between Cornea and Skin.

Abstract excerpt

Macrophages are critical mediators of tissue vascularization both in health and disease. In multiple tissues, macrophages have been identified as important regulators of both blood and lymphatic vessel growth, specifically following tissue injury and in pathological inflammatory responses. In development, macrophages have also been implicated in limiting vascular growth. Hence, macrophages provide an important...
