Molecular Regulation of Lymphangiogenesis [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004 Abstract: The lymphatic vascular system is necessary for the return of extravasated interstitial fluid and macromolecules to the blood circulation, for immune defense, and for the uptake of dietary fats. Impaired functioning of lymphatic vessels results in lymphedema, whereas tumor‐associated lymphangiogenesis may contribute to the spread of cancer ...

A Fisheye View on Lymphangiogenesis
2013Zebrafish have been widely used to study vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, and the vascular system is one of the most intensively studied organ systems in teleosts. It is a little surprising, therefore, that the development of the zebrafish lymphatic network has only been investigated in any detail for less than a decade now.

Inflammatory Triggers of Lymphangiogenesis
Lymphatic Research and Biology, 2003Inflammation is the common denominator to the postnatal events that overlap with lymphatic vessel growth, or lymphangiogenesis. Undoubtedly, inflammation and accompanying fluid overload are cardinal factors in wound healing, lymphedema, the pathogenesis of some forms of lymphangiomatosis, and solid tumor lymphangiogenesis.

Corneal angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis
Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2012The purpose of the present review is to describe new antilymphangiogenic treatment strategies and recent findings on strain-dependency of corneal lymphangiogenesis and the interdependency between blood and lymphatic vessel growth.Studies on mice have revealed that apart from haemangiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis can also differ markedly between several ...

Lymphangiogenesis in development and disease
Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2007SummaryThe lymphatic vascular system plays an important role in the maintenance of fluid homeostasis, in the afferent immune response, in the intestinal lipid uptake and in the metastatic spread of malignant cells. The recent discovery of specific markers and growth factors for lymphatic endothelium and the establishment of genetic mouse models with ...

Signaling angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1998Exciting progress has been made in elucidating the complex network of receptor-ligand interactions that regulate blood vessel growth. Understanding these control mechanisms is of interest not only because of their role in developmental biology, but because they provide potential therapeutic strategies for disease processes involving angiogenesis, such ...

Cytokines regulating lymphangiogenesis
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2018Lymphatic vessels are established by differentiation of lymphendothelial progenitors during embryogenesis. Lymphangiogenesis, the formation of new lymphatic vessels from pre-existing ones is rare in the healthy adult but takes place during pathological conditions such as inflammation, tissue repair and tumor growth.

Lymphangiogenesis and cancer metastasis
Nature Reviews Cancer, 2002Lymphatic vessels are important for the spread of solid tumours, but the mechanisms that underlie lymphatic spread and the role of lymphangiogenesis (the growth of lymphatics) in tumour metastasis has been less clear. This article reviews recent experimental and clinico-pathological data indicating that growth factors that stimulate lymphangiogenesis ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Lymphangiogenesis
International Journal of Hematology, 2004Although the process of vascular development has been well documented, little is understood about lymphatic vasculature formation, despite its importance in normal and pathologic conditions. The dysfunction or abnormal growth of lymphatic vessels is associated with lymphedema and cancer metastasis. The recent discovery of lymphangiogenic growth factors
