Vascular endothelial growth factor as a survival factor for human islets: effect of immunosuppressive drugs.
- Abstract:
-
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Rapamycin, part of the immunosuppressive regimen of the Edmonton protocol, has been shown to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production and VEGF-mediated survival signalling in tumour cell lines.
