Hematopoietic stem cells contribute to lymphatic endothelium.
PLoS ONE, 2008 BackgroundAlthough the lymphatic system arises as an extension of venous vessels in the embryo, little is known about the role of circulating progenitors in the maintenance or development of lymphatic endothelium.

Lymphatic endothelium in health and disease [PDF]
Cell and Tissue Research, 2018 The lymphatic vascular system has an important role in the maintenance of tissue fluid pressure homeostasis, in the mediation of the afferent immune response via recruitment of antigen-presenting cells toward draining lymph nodes, and in the intestinal ...

Immunomodulatory properties of the lymphatic endothelium in the tumor microenvironment
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 The tumor microenvironment (TME) is an intricate complex and dynamic structure composed of various cell types, including tumor, stromal and immune cells.

Connexin-45 is expressed in mouse lymphatic endothelium and required for lymphatic valve function
JCI InsightThe expression and functional relevance of the gap junction molecule connexin-45 (Cx45; GJC1) in lymphatic endothelium were not previously known. We found that Cx45 was expressed widely in the endothelium of murine lymphatics, in both valve and nonvalve ...

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2003 The lymphatic microvasculature is uniquely adapted for the continuous removal of interstitial fluid and proteins, and is an important point of entry for leukocytes and tumor cells. The traditional view that lymphatic capillaries are passive participants in these tasks is currently being challenged.

Dendritic Cell Interactions with Lymphatic Endothelium [PDF]
Lymphatic Research and Biology, 2013 Afferent lymphatic vessels fulfill essential immune functions by transporting leukocytes and lymph-borne antigen to draining lymph nodes (dLNs). An important cell type migrating through lymphatic vessels are dendritic cells (DCs). DCs reside in peripheral tissues like the skin, where they take up antigen and transport it via the lymphatic vascular ...

Culturing Purifies Murine Lymph Node Lymphatic Endothelium [PDF]
Lymphatic Research and Biology, 2014 Lymph node (LN) lymphatic sinuses transport lymph, cells, and antigens from the periphery through the LN. The lymphatic endothelium lining these sinuses appears to be an important contributor to the lymph node immune response. It has been challenging to obtain sufficient LN lymphatic endothelial cells for investigation of their functions, as they are ...

Calcium and electrical dynamics in lymphatic endothelium [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2017 Key points Endothelial cell function in resistance arteries integrates Ca2+ signalling with hyperpolarization to promote relaxation of smooth muscle cells and increase tissue blood flow. Whether complementary signalling occurs in lymphatic endothelium is unknown.
