Hepatocyte growth factor promotes lymphatic vessel formation and function
Hepatocyte growth factor promotes lymphatic vessel formation and function is a scholarly work by Michael Detmar and Kentaro Kajiya, published in 2005 in ''The EMBO Journal''. The main subjects of the publication include growth factor, signaling receptor, immunology, hyperhidrosis, lymphangiogenesis, cancer research, lymphatic endothelium, vascular endothelial growth factor C, biology, lymphatic vessel, Hepatocyte growth factor, cell biology, lymphatic system, vascular endothelial growth factor, and vascular anomaly. These results identify HGF as a novel, potent lymphangiogenesis factor, and also indicate that HGF-R might serve as a new target for inhibiting pathological lymphangiogenesis.
