Lipoteichoic Acid Up-regulates VEGF Expression in Macrophages and Pulp Cells

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent inducer of angiogenesis, vascular permeability, and edema. Up-regulation of VEGF expression in the dental pulp may result in increased intra-pulpal pressure, and contribute to pain and irreversible tissue damage. Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is an amp...
