Recombinant VEGF-C (Cys156Ser) protein restores mesenteric lymphatic drainage and improves gut immune surveillance in experimental liver cirrhosis

2020-12-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background and Aim</h4> Lymphatic vessels (LVs) are crucial for maintaining abdominal fluid homeostasis and immunity. In liver cirrhosis, mesenteric LVs (mLVs) are dilated and dysfunctional. Given an established protective role of VEGF-C in LVs, we hypothesized that VEGF-C treatment could improve functions of mLVs in cirrhosis. <h4>Method</h4> In this study, we developed a nanoformulation comprising LV-specifi...
