VEGF-C and Macrophages

Living Well with Lipedema

In this episode, I’ll discuss a groundbreaking paper led by Gunther Felmerer and a team of researchers from Germany, Finland, and Switzerland. The study, titled "Increased Levels of VEGF-C and Macrophage Infiltration in Lipedema Patients Without Changes in Lymphatic Vascular Morphology," was published in Scientific Reports in July 2020. This research investigates the tissue and lymphatic involvement in lipedema, shedding light on the complexities of the condition. Join me as we explore how these findings contribute to our understanding of lipedema.
