Fine filaments in lymphatic endothelial cells [PDF]
Several and various types of cells contain fine cytoplasmic filaments closely resembling the myofilaments of muscle cells (2, 18, 23, 24). In many of these cells and especially when cultured, it has been demonstrated that some of these filaments react with heavy meromyosin (HMM) in the same way as do the actin filaments of muscle cells (3, 6 7).

EphrinB2-EphB4 signalling provides Rho-mediated homeostatic control of lymphatic endothelial cell junction integrity. [PDF]
Endothelial integrity is vital for homeostasis and adjusted to tissue demands. Although fluid uptake by lymphatic capillaries is a critical attribute of the lymphatic vasculature, the barrier function of collecting lymphatic vessels is also important by ...

Lymphatic Endothelial Cell Progenitors in the Tumor Microenvironment. [PDF]
Tumor lymphatics play a key role in cancer progression as they are solely responsible for transporting malignant cells to regional lymph nodes (LNs), a process that precedes and promotes systemic lethal spread. It is broadly accepted that tumor lymphatic sprouting is induced mainly by soluble factors derived from tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and

Endothelial cell plasticity: how to become and remain a lymphatic endothelial cell [PDF]
Lineage commitment and differentiation into mature cell types are mostly considered to be unidirectional and irreversible processes. However, recent results have challenged this by showing that terminally differentiated cell types can be reprogrammed into other cell types, an important step towards devising strategies for gene therapy and tissue ...

Regulation of T-cell Tolerance by Lymphatic Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Lymphatic endothelial cells are most often thought of as structural cells that form the lymphatic vasculature, which transports fluid out of peripheral tissues and transports antigens and antigen presenting cells to lymph nodes. Recently, it has been shown that lymphatic endothelial cells also dynamically respond to and influence the immune response in

A Role for All-Trans-Retinoic Acid in the Early Steps of Lymphatic Vasculature Development [PDF]
The molecular mechanisms that regulate the earliest steps of lymphatic vascular system development are unknown. To identify regulators of lymphatic competence and commitment, we used an in vitro vascular assay with mouse embryonic stem cell-derived ...

Kaposin-B enhances the PROX1 mRNA stability during lymphatic reprogramming of vascular endothelial cells by Kaposi's sarcoma herpes virus. [PDF]
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most common cancer among HIV-positive patients. Histogenetic origin of KS has long been elusive due to a mixed expression of both blood and lymphatic endothelial markers in KS tumor cells.

Thymus cell antigen 1 (Thy1, CD90) is expressed by lymphatic vessels and mediates cell adhesion to lymphatic endothelium [PDF]
The lymphatic vascular system plays an important role in inflammation and cancer progression, although the molecular mechanisms involved are poorly understood.
