Vascular endothelial growth factor-induced permeability in the pathogenesis of cardiac allograft vasculopathy
Rationale: Endothelial dysfunction can lead to increased permeability, and this may contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV). This dissertation focuses on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein that can mediate angiogenesis and is a potent inducer of vascu...
