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

FOXC2 and fluid shear stress stabilize postnatal lymphatic vasculature. [PDF]
, 2015 Biomechanical forces, such as fluid shear stress, govern multiple aspects of endothelial cell biology. In blood vessels, disturbed flow is associated with vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, and promotes endothelial cell proliferation and ...

Heterogeneity and Plasticity of Lymphatic Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2010 Endothelial cells are found in most organs and tissues in our body. Despite their apparent morphological and functional similarities, endothelial cells exhibit remarkable heterogeneity and plasticity. In a strict sense, no two endothelial cells are identical in terms of their biological, immunological, functional, metabolic, morphological, and ...

Engineering Blood and Lymphatic Microvascular Networks in Fibrin Matrices [PDF]
, 2017 Vascular network engineering is essential for nutrient delivery to tissue-engineered constructs and, consequently, their survival. In addition, the functionality of tissues also depends on tissue drainage and immune cell accessibility, which are the main

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 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.

Intestinal Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Produce R-Spondin3 [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractThe R-Spondin (R-Spo) family regulates WNT signaling and stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs). R-Spo plays a critical role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis, but endogenous producers of R-Spo in the intestine remain to be investigated.
