Shock Wave Therapy Enhances Angiogenesis through VEGFR2 Activation and Recycling

Abstract Although low-energy shock wave (SW) is adopted to treat ischemic diseases because of its pro-angiogenic properties, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study is aimed at testing whether SW-induced angiogenesis may be through endothelial vascular endothelial growth factor receptor...
