hVEGF Increases Survival of Transplanted Hepatocytes Within Portal Radicles: Suggested Mechanism for Early Cell Engraftment
VEGF is a potent angiogenic factor that promotes hepatocyte growth, increases permeability of blood vessels, and induces vasodilatation, and may accelerate engraftment and function of transplanted hepatocytes. The aim was to study the effect of VEGF on early hepatocyte engraftment. Thirty-two Lewis...
