VEGF-C gene therapy augments postnatal lymphangiogenesis and ameliorates secondary lymphedema.
Although lymphedema is a common clinical condition, treatment for this disabling condition remains limited and largely ineffective. Recently, it has been reported that overexpression of VEGF-C correlates with increased lymphatic vessel growth (lymphangiogenesis). However, the effect of VEGF-C-induce...
