Inhibiting corneal transplantation rejection via lymphatic vessel ligation in a novel murine model [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe lymphatic system is a crucial contributor to allograft rejection after corneal transplantation. However, no surgical procedures for the central pathway where conjunctival lymphatic vessels converge have been investigated.

Heterogeneity in VEGFR3 levels drives lymphatic vessel hyperplasia through cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 VEGF-C is a key regulator of lymphatic development. Here, Zhang et al. show that while complete loss of its receptor VEGFR3 results in vessel hypoplasia, mosaic loss of VEGFR3 leads to hyperplasia through induction of cell proliferation in neighboringnon-
