Hematopoietic stem cells contribute to lymphatic endothelium.
PLoS ONE, 2008 BackgroundAlthough the lymphatic system arises as an extension of venous vessels in the embryo, little is known about the role of circulating progenitors in the maintenance or development of lymphatic endothelium.

Immunomodulatory properties of the lymphatic endothelium in the tumor microenvironment
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 The tumor microenvironment (TME) is an intricate complex and dynamic structure composed of various cell types, including tumor, stromal and immune cells.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Gradients of chemokines and growth factors guide migrating cells and morphogenetic processes. Migration of antigen-presenting dendritic cells from the interstitium into the lymphatic system is dependent on chemokine CCL21, which is secreted by ...

Connexin-45 is expressed in mouse lymphatic endothelium and required for lymphatic valve function
JCI InsightThe expression and functional relevance of the gap junction molecule connexin-45 (Cx45; GJC1) in lymphatic endothelium were not previously known. We found that Cx45 was expressed widely in the endothelium of murine lymphatics, in both valve and nonvalve ...

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2003 The lymphatic microvasculature is uniquely adapted for the continuous removal of interstitial fluid and proteins, and is an important point of entry for leukocytes and tumor cells. The traditional view that lymphatic capillaries are passive participants in these tasks is currently being challenged.

Lymphatic Clearance of Immune Cells in Cardiovascular Disease
Cells, 2021 Recent advances in our understanding of the lymphatic system, its function, development, and role in pathophysiology have changed our views on its importance. Historically thought to be solely involved in the transport of tissue fluid, lipids, and immune

The Lymphatic Endothelium in the Context of Radioimmuno-Oncology
Cancers, 2022 The study of lymphatic tumor vasculature has been gaining interest in the context of cancer immunotherapy. These vessels constitute conduits for immune cells’ transit toward the lymph nodes, and they endow tumors with routes to metastasize to the lymph nodes and, from them, toward distant sites.
