VEGFR-2 reduces while combined VEGFR-2 and -3 signaling increases inflammation in apical periodontitis
Background: In apical periodontitis, oral pathogens provoke an inflammatory response in the apical area that induces bone resorptive lesions. In inflammation, angio- and lymphangiogenesis take place. Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and their receptors (VEGFRs) are key players in these pr...
