On the Lymphologica 2017 (Lymphologie 2017) congress in Bad Soden/Frankfurt (Germany), I presented an introduction to the molecular biology of VEGF-C.
Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) is essential for the development and growth of the lymphatic vasculature. Together with VEGF-D, it forms the lymphatic subgroup within the VEGF family of growth factors, whose other members (PlGF, VEGF/VEGF-A, VEGF-B) are primarily responsible for the growth and function of blood vessels.
