VEGF-C Review in Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology

Mon, 12 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The editors of Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, section Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (Andrea Banfi, Wolfgang Holnthoner, Mikaël M. Martino and Seppo Ylä-Herttuala) asked us to contribute to the research topic Vascularization for Regenerative Medicine. We wrote a small review about VEGF-C, which specifically addresses the molecular biology of VEGF-C in relationship to regenerative medicine, i.e., (re)growing lymphatic vessels in vitro or in vivo.You can get it from the publisher directly https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbioe.2018.00007/full or from here . **UPDATE (April 1, 2023):**The question of whether Frontiers Media is a predatory publisher did not even cross our minds when we were asked to contribute with a review. I know the guest editors of this Research Topic and can vouch for their scientific integrity. However, the journal has recently ended up on the list of predatory journals ( https://predatoryreports.org/news/f/list-of-all-frontiers-media-predatory-journals ), and the issues are discussed here in detail. Our review has meanwhile gathered:
