VEGF Receptor-Targeted Imaging of Angiogenic Response to Limb Ischemia in Diabetic vs. Non-Diabetic Yucatan Minipigs

This study evaluates vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-targeted imaging of angiogenesis following limb ischemia in diabetic and non-diabetic Yucatan minipigs. The model provides a translational platform for studying impaired vascular repair and evaluating potential therapies for diabetic vascular disease.
