Neuronal FLT1 receptor and its selective ligand VEGF‐B protect against retrograde degeneration of sensory neurons

ABSTRACT Even though VEGF‐B is a homologue of the potent angiogenic factor VEGF, its angiogenic activities have been controversial. Intrigued by findings that VEGF‐B may also affect neuronal cells, we assessed the neuroprotective and vasculoprotective effects of VEGF‐B in the skin, in which vessels...
