Intracellular uptake of macromolecules by brain lymphatic endothelial cells during zebrafish embryonic development [PDF]
eLife, 2017 The lymphatic system controls fluid homeostasis and the clearance of macromolecules from interstitial compartments. In mammals brain lymphatics were only recently discovered, with significant implications for physiology and disease. We examined zebrafish

Tolerogenic properties of lymphatic endothelial cells are controlled by the lymph node microenvironment (176.25) [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Peripheral self-tolerance eliminates lymphocytes specific for tissue-specific antigens not encountered in the thymus. Recently, we demonstrated that lymphatic endothelial cells in mice directly express peripheral tissue antigens, including tyrosinase ...

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

Cells with Many Talents: Lymphatic Endothelial Cells in the Brain Meninges
Cells, 2021 The lymphatic system serves key functions in maintaining fluid homeostasis, the uptake of dietary fats in the small intestine, and the trafficking of immune cells. Almost all vascularized peripheral tissues and organs contain lymphatic vessels. The brain

Podoplanin immunopositive lymphatic vessels at the implant interface in a rat model of osteoporotic fractures [PDF]
, 2013 Insertion of bone substitution materials accelerates healing of osteoporotic fractures. Biodegradable materials are preferred for application in osteoporotic patients to avoid a second surgery for implant replacement. Degraded implant fragments are often

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2022 In our previous study, we found that lymphatic vessels stimulate hair follicle growth through paracrine effects on dermal papilla cells. However, the paracrine factors secreted from cutaneous lymphatic vessels that can activate dermal papilla cells are ...

Aberrant lymphatic endothelial progenitors in lymphatic malformation development.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are vascular anomalies thought to arise from dysregulated lymphangiogenesis. These lesions impose a significant burden of disease on affected individuals.

The intestinal lymphatic system: Functions and metabolic implications [PDF]
, 2019 The lymphatic system of the gut plays important roles in the transport of dietary lipids, as well as in immunosurveillance and removal of interstitial fluid.

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2006 Oral treatment with the dual-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor AEE788 effectively reduces the number of peritumoral lymphatic vessels and the incidence of lymph node metastasis in nude mice with human HT29 colon cancer cells growing in the cecum ...
