- VEGF-D enhances endothelial barrier function and protects against inflammatory challenges.
- VEGF-D's barrier-protective effects are mediated through VEGFR2-dependent signaling.
- Intravenous VEGF-D reduces vascular permeability and immune cell infiltration in acute lung injury models.
- The study highlights the role of alveolar fibroblast niche in lung capillary homeostasis.
