Does [ Adenovirus-mediated VEGF165 gene transfer have neuroprotective effects in neonatal rats following hypoxic-ischemic brain damage ]?
Ad-VEGF gene transfer can increase the expression of VEGF mRNA and VEGF protein, decrease neuronal apoptosis, and increase angiopoiesis in the brain. This attenuates brain damage and improves long-term learning and memory functions in neonatal rats after HIBD.
HSV is not present and therefore is probably not involved in the pathology of tooth neural tissue.
