Aquaporin-4 Functionality and Virchow-Robin Space Water Dynamics: Physiological Model for Neurovascular Coupling and Glymphatic Flow. [PDF]
The unique properties of brain capillary endothelium, critical in maintaining the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and restricting water permeability across the BBB, have important consequences on fluid hydrodynamics inside the BBB hereto inadequately ...

Initial afferent lymphatic vessels controlling outbound leukocyte traffic from skin to lymph nodes.
Tissue drains fluid and macromolecules through lymphatic vessels, which are lined by a specialized endothelium that expresses peculiar differentiation proteins, not found in blood vessels (i.e: LYVE-1, Podoplanin, PROX-1 and VEGFR-3).

KSHV Induction of Angiogenic and Lymphangiogenic Phenotypes
Kaposi’s Sarcoma is a highly vascularized tumor supporting large amounts of neo-angiogenesis. The major cell type in KS tumors is the spindle cell, a cell that expresses markers of lymphatic endothelium. KSHV, the etiologic agent of KS, is found in the

High relative density of lymphatic vessels predicts poor survival in tongue squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
Tongue cancer has a poor prognosis due to its early metastasis via lymphatic vessels. The present study aimed at evaluating lymphatic vessel density, relative density of lymphatic vessel, and diameter of lymphatic vessels and its predictive role in ...

PD-L1 signaling selectively regulates T cell lymphatic transendothelial migration
The Programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 are critical checkpoints in the regulation of immune responses. Here the authors implicate PD-L1 signalling at lymphatic endothelium in the regulation of transendothelial migration of T cells.

Colon cancer cell-derived 12(S)-HETE induces the retraction of cancer-associated fibroblast via MLC2, RHO/ROCK and Ca2+ signalling [PDF]
Retraction of mesenchymal stromal cells supports the invasion of colorectal cancer cells (CRC) into the adjacent compartment. CRC-secreted 12(S)-HETE enhances the retraction of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and therefore, 12(S)-HETE may enforce ...

Targeting local lymphatics to ameliorate heterotopic ossification via FGFR3-BMPR1a pathway
Different types of mesenchymal progenitors participate in ectopic bone formation. Here, the authors show Col2+ lineage cells adopt a lymphatic endothelium cell fate, which regulates local inflammatory microenvironment after trauma, thus influencing ...
