Modulation of VEGF-A Alternative Splicing as a Novel Treatment in Chronic Kidney Disease
Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is a prominent pro-angiogenic and pro-permeability factor in the kidney. Alternative splicing of the terminal exon of VEGF-A through the use of an alternative 3′ splice site gives rise to a functionally different family of isoforms, termed VEGF-Axxxb, kn...
