Is leukoaraiosis associated with genes regulating blood-brain barrier homeostasis in ischaemic stroke patients?
Amongst patients with ischaemic stroke, several genes associated with BBB homeostasis could be involved with a higher risk of leukoaraiosis.
Our results show that HGF and VEGF modulate the expression of cell adhesion and migration molecules and induce proliferation in endothelial cells, mechanisms through which these factors may contribute to CHC-associated liver angiogenesis.
