- Psoriasis is linked to abnormal blood vessel development, and this study aimed to analyze serum levels of angiogenesis-related factors in psoriasis patients compared to healthy controls.
- The research involved 10 healthy subjects and 55 psoriasis patients, measuring factors like angiopoietin-1, VEGF, and EGF, revealing that psoriasis patients exhibited altered levels of these factors compared to controls.
- Results indicated that certain angiogenesis-related factors, such as VEGF and FGF-basic, correlated with the severity of psoriasis, suggesting potential implications for understanding the disease and its treatment response.

However, how macrophages coordinate inflammatory responses with endothelial cells (ECs) remains unclear. In this study, we investigated whether exosomes upregulate the expression of inflammatory factors in ECs under hypertensive conditions.
