CD146 is required for VEGF-C-induced lymphatic sprouting during lymphangiogenesis
Abstract VEGF-C is essential for lymphangiogenesis during development and tumor progression. VEGFR-3 is the well-known cognate receptor of VEGF-C to regulate lymphatic migration and proliferation, but the receptor of VEGF-C in regulating lymphatic sprouting, the initiating step of lymphangiogenesis,...
