Structural Basis of Lymphangiogenic Receptor VEGFR‐3 Activation Mediated by Distinctive Clustering of the Ligand–Receptor Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
VEGF‐C and its receptor VEGFR‐3 are critical for lymphangiogenesis. Cryo‐EM structures of the VEGFR‐3/VEGF‐C ectodomain complex reveal a canonical 2:2 ligand–receptor hetero‐tetramer that further assembles into higher‐order clusters beyond simple receptor dimerization.

An Adult Presentation of KIF11‐Related MCLID Syndrome: Case Report and 40‐Year Follow‐Up

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in KIF11 are linked to autosomal dominant syndromes with microcephaly, chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, and intellectual disability (MCLID), though adult presentations remain underreported. We report a 42‐year‐old female presenting with a de novo single‐amino acid in‐frame deletion in the KIF11 gene (c.1294_1296del; p ...

Molecular biology of targeting lymphangiogenesis in cancer: Therapeutic strategies and future promise

Fundamental Research
Lymphangiogenesis is considered the rate-limiting step for tumor lymph node (LN) metastasis by sprouting the new lymphatic network from preexisting lymphatic vessels to favor the invasion and entry of cancer cells into the lymphatic system. Over the past

Targeting tubulointerstitial remodeling in proteinuric nephropathy in rats

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2015
Proteinuria is an important cause of tubulointerstitial damage. Anti-proteinuric interventions are not always successful, and residual proteinuria often leads to renal failure.

ETV4 Mediated Tumor‐Associated Neutrophil Infiltration Facilitates Lymphangiogenesis and Lymphatic Metastasis of Bladder Cancer

Advanced Science, 2023
As a key step of tumor lymphatic metastasis, lymphangiogenesis is regulated by VEGFC‐VEGFR3 signaling pathway mediated by immune cells, mainly macrophages, in the tumor microenvironment.

Diagnosis of Portal Hypertension: Advancing Towards Non‐Invasive Solutions

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes a full spectrum of non‐invasive diagnostic approaches for portal hypertension (PH), including imaging modalities, elastography, serum biomarkers, composite scoring systems and endoscopic ultrasound‐guided portal pressure gradient (EUS‐PPG), and analyzes their performance across different liver disease etiologies ...

Integrins in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis [PDF]

Nature Reviews Cancer, 2008
Blood vessels promote tumour growth, and both blood and lymphatic vessels facilitate tumour metastasis by serving as conduits for the transport of tumour cells to new sites. Angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis are regulated by integrins, which are members of a family of cell surface receptors whose ligands are extracellular matrix proteins and ...

Stem Cell‐Based Approaches for Neurotrophic Keratopathy: From Ocular Surface to Neuro‐Ophthalmology

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurotrophic keratopathy is an uncommon, but potentially sight‐threatening, corneal disorder that results from impaired trigeminal sensory innervation. The loss of corneal sensation disrupts epithelial stability, weakens wound healing, and may lead to persistent epithelial defects, stromal ulceration, and, in the most advanced cases, corneal ...

Corneal transplantation: Restoring sight to the blind

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Corneal blindness is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Transplantation of the cornea can restore vision and make blind patients see again. Corneal transplant surgery has undergone major evolution in recent decades with the advent of minimally invasive lamellar surgical approaches such as DMEK and DALK.

Transient Ingrowth of Lymphatic Vessels into the Physiologically Avascular Cornea Regulates Corneal Edema and Transparency

Scientific Reports, 2017
Lymphangiogenesis is essential for fluid homeostasis in vascularized tissues. In the normally avascular cornea, however, pathological lymphangiogenesis mediates diseases like corneal transplant rejection, dry eye disease, and allergy.
