Imaging the lymphatic system [PDF]

open access: yesMicrovascular Research, 2014
Visualization of the lymphatic system is clinically necessary during diagnosis or treatment of many conditions and diseases; it is used for identifying and monitoring lymphedema, for detecting metastatic lesions during cancer staging and for locating lymphatic structures so they can be spared during surgical procedures.

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 promotes the development of the lymphatic vasculature. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) is highly expressed by lymphatic endothelial cells and has been shown to stimulate lymphangiogenesis in adult mice. However, the role VEGFR2 serves in the development of the lymphatic vascular system
