bFGF blockade reduces intraplaque angiogenesis and macrophage infiltration in atherosclerotic vein graft lesions in ApoE3*Leiden mice
Intraplaque angiogenesis increases the chance of unstable atherosclerotic plaque rupture and thrombus formation leading to myocardial infarction. Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) plays a key role in angiogenesis and inflammation and is involved in...
