Injections of a novel protein reduced artery blockage by enhancing lymphatic vascular function in mice

Mice that received injections of a protein called VEGF-C experienced about a 30% reduction in artery blockage compared to untreated mice. The VEGF-C injections improved lymphatic transport, limited plaque formation and stabilized plaque even after mice were switched to a high-fat diet.
