Nestin as a Marker Beyond Angiogenesis—Expression Pattern in Haemangiomas and Lymphangiomas [PDF]
Background: The intermediate filament nestin was first described in stem and progenitor cells of neural and mesenchymal origin. Additionally, it is expressed in endothelial cells during wound healing and tumorigenesis.

Lymphatic endothelium stimulates melanoma metastasis and invasion via MMP14-dependent Notch3 and β1-integrin activation. [PDF]
Lymphatic invasion and lymph node metastasis correlate with poor clinical outcome in melanoma. However, the mechanisms of lymphatic dissemination in distant metastasis remain incompletely understood.

mTOR-Dependent Stimulation of IL20RA Orchestrates Immune Cell Trafficking through Lymphatic Endothelium in Patients with Crohn’s Disease [PDF]
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory condition that can affect different portions of the gastrointestinal tract. Lymphatic drainage was demonstrated to be dysfunctional in CD pathogenesis, ultimately causing the failure of the resolution ...

Culturing purifies murine lymph node lymphatic endothelium. [PDF]
Lymph node (LN) lymphatic sinuses transport lymph, cells, and antigens from the periphery through the LN. The lymphatic endothelium lining these sinuses appears to be an important contributor to the lymph node immune response. It has been challenging to obtain sufficient LN lymphatic endothelial cells for investigation of their functions, as they are ...

Mast cell modulation of the vascular and lymphatic endothelium. [PDF]
AbstractMast cells (MCs) promote a wide range of localized and systemic inflammatory responses. Their involvement in immediate as well as chronic inflammatory reactions at both local and distal sites points to an extraordinarily powerful immunoregulatory capacity with spatial and temporal versatility.

Connexin-45 is expressed in mouse lymphatic endothelium and required for lymphatic valve function. [PDF]
The 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 regions.

MicroRNAs secreted by the parasitic nematode Brugia malayi disrupt lymphatic endothelial cell integrity. [PDF]
Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a neglected tropical disease affecting over 51 million people in 72 endemic countries. Causative agents of LF are mosquito-borne parasitic nematodes Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori.

A comparative study of adhesion of melanoma and breast cancer cells to blood and lymphatic endothelium. [PDF]
Background: Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is an important step in the metastatic cascade; tumor cell migration and adhesion to blood and lymphatic vessels is followed by invasion through the vessel wall and subsequent systemic spread.
