Nucleoside-modified VEGFC mRNA induces organ-specific lymphatic growth and reverses experimental lymphedema

Dysfunction of the lymphatic system leads to secondary lymphedema and results in degradation of quality of life. Here, the authors show that delivery of nucleoside-modified Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C (VEGFC) mRNA, encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles, induces organ-specific lymphatic growth...
