In vivo visualization and quantification of collecting lymphatic vessel contractility using near-infrared imaging

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
Techniques to image lymphatic vessel function in either animal models or in the clinic are limited. In particular, imaging methods that can provide robust outcome measures for collecting lymphatic vessel function are sorely needed.

Blood flow-induced Notch activation and endothelial migration enable vascular remodeling in zebrafish embryos. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Arteries and veins are formed independently by different types of endothelial cells (ECs). In vascular remodeling, arteries and veins become connected and some arteries become veins. It is unclear how ECs in transforming vessels change their type and how
