Tumor-induced myeloid cell plasticity toward lymphatic endothelium [PDF]
, 2009 Tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis contributes to tumor progression by regulating interstitial fluid pressure, transporting immune cells to the tumor site and providing a route for metastatic dissemination.

TGF-β signaling in lymphatic vascular vessel formation and maintenance
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and its family members, including bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), nodal proteins, and activins, are implicated in the development and maintenance of various organs. Here, we review its role in the lymphatic vascular

Metabolic Analysis of Lymphatic Endothelial Cells [PDF]
, 2018 Metabolism is pivotal for formation of the lymphatic vasculature. Understanding metabolism in lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) requires quantitative characterization of specific metabolic pathways. Here we describe methods for using radioactive tracers to assess flux rates of glycolysis, fatty acid β-oxidation, glucose oxidation, and glutamine ...

Lymphatic Endothelial Cell Plasticity in Development and Disease [PDF]
Physiology, 2017 The lymphatic vasculature is crucial for maintaining tissue-fluid homeostasis, providing immune surveillance and mediating lipid absorption. The lymphatic vasculature is tightly associated with the blood vasculature, although it exhibits distinct morphological and functional features.

Lymphatic vascular morphogenesis in development, physiology, and disease [PDF]
, 2011 The lymphatic vasculature constitutes a highly specialized part of the vascular system that is essential for the maintenance of interstitial fluid balance, uptake of dietary fat, and immune response. Recently, there has been an increased awareness of the

Lymphatic Endothelial Differentiation in Pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis Cells [PDF]
Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2013 Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, low-grade neoplasm affecting almost exclusively women of childbearing age. LAM belongs to the family of perivascular epithelioid cell tumors, characterized by spindle and epithelioid cells with smooth muscle and melanocytic differentiation. LAM cells infiltrate the lungs, producing multiple, bilateral

Widespread distribution of lymphatic vessels in human dura mater remote from sinus veins
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Background and purpose: Previous experimental studies have shown that meningeal lymphatic vessels are located primarily along the walls of the dural sinus veins.
