The lymphatic circulation is still a somewhat forgotten part of the circulatory system. Despite
this, novel insights in lymph angiogenesis in health and disease, application of immune …

Imaging of lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis requires robust and unambiguous
markers of lymphatic and blood vessels. Although much progress has been made in recent …

Lymphangiogenesis, the growth of new lymphatic vessels, has long been regarded as a
putative efficient pathway to neoplastic metastization. However, until recently consistent data …

In recent years, several functional molecules specifically expressed and localized in
lymphatic endothelial cells, such as 5′‐nucleotidase, lymphatic vessel endothelial receptor …

While both blood and lymphatic vessels transport fluids and thus share many similarities,
they also show functional and structural differences, which can be used to differentiate them …

Lymphatic metastasis of tumor cells represents a series of extremely complex and
sequential processes that include dissemination and invasion into surrounding stromal …

The lymphatic vascular system is important for immune surveillance, tissue fluid
homeostasis and fat absorption, and is involved in many pathological processes, including …

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) mediates lymphatic endothelial
cell (LEC) growth, migration, and survival by binding VEGF-C and VEGF-D. Recent studies …

In many tumour types, lymphatic vasculature serves as a major route for tumour metastasis.
The dissemination of malignant cells to the regional lymph nodes is an early step in the …

Lymphatic vessels constitute a ubiquitous countercurrent system to the blood vasculature
that returns interstitial fluid, salts, small molecules, resorbed fat, and cells to the bloodstream …
