Lymphatic expression of CLEVER-1 in breast cancer and its relationship with lymph node metastasis [PDF]
BACKGROUND Mechanisms regulating breast cancer lymph node metastasis are unclear. Staining of CLEVER-1 (common lymphatic endothelial and vascular endothelial receptor-1) in human breast tumors was used, along with in vitro techniques, to assess ...

The lymphatic vessel endothelial receptor LYVE-1 is implicated in the uptake of hyaluronan (HA) and trafficking of leukocytes to draining lymph nodes. Yet LYVE-1 has only weak affinity for hyaluronan and depends on receptor clustering and higher order ...

VEGFR-3 signaling regulates triglyceride retention and absorption in the intestine [PDF]
The lymphatic system transports dietary lipids absorbed and packaged as chylomicrons by enterocytes, for delivery to the bloodstream. Once considered a passive drainage, chylomicron entry into intestinal lymphatic vessels, or lacteals, is now emerging to

Histamine as an Endothelium-Derived Relaxing Factor in Aged Mesenteric Lymphatic Vessels.
BACKGROUND Knowledge of the mechanisms by which aging affects contracting lymphatic vessels remains incomplete; therefore, the functional role of histamine in the reaction of aged lymphatic vessels to increases in flow remains unknown.

Balance of Mechanical Forces Drives Endothelial Gap Formation and May Facilitate Cancer and Immune-Cell Extravasation [PDF]
The formation of gaps in the endothelium is a crucial process underlying both cancer and immune cell extravasation, contributing to the functioning of the immune system during infection, the unfavorable development of chronic inflammation and tumor metastasis.

Elevated expression of the chemokine-scavenging receptor D6 is associated with impaired lesion development in psoriasis [PDF]
D6 is a scavenging-receptor for inflammatory CC chemokines that are essential for resolution of inflammatory responses in mice. Here, we demonstrate that D6 plays a central role in controlling cutaneous inflammation, and that D6 deficiency is associated ...

KATP channels in Lymphatic Function.
KATP channels function as negative regulators of active lymphatic pumping and lymph transport. This review summarizes and critiques the evidence for the expression of specific KATP channel subunits in lymphatic smooth muscle and endothelium, the roles ...

Lymphendothel in terminaler Herzinsuffizienz und nach Herz- und Lungentransplantation [PDF]
The lymphatic endothelium is relevant for the pathogenesis of various cardiac and pulmonary diseases. However, the knowledge about the functions and role of lymphatic endothelium in the setting of transplantation is very limited.
