Mammals have two specialized vascular circulatory systems: the blood vasculature and the
lymphatic vasculature. The lymphatic vasculature is a unidirectional conduit that returns …

Notch signaling is an evolutionarily highly conserved signaling mechanism, but in contrast to
signaling pathways such as Wnt, Sonic Hedgehog, and BMP/TGF-β, Notch signaling occurs …

Blood and lymphatic vessels form a versatile transport network and provide inductive signals
to regulate tissue-specific functions. Blood vessels in bone regulate osteogenesis and …

Forming the inner layer of the vascular system, endothelial cells (ECs) facilitate a multitude
of crucial physiological processes throughout the body. Vascular ECs enable the vessel wall …

Here, we report the existence of meningeal lymphatic vessels in human and nonhuman
primates (common marmoset monkeys) and the feasibility of noninvasively imaging and …

The lymphatic system, composed of initial and collecting lymphatic vessels as well as lymph
nodes that are present in almost every tissue of the human body, acts as an essential …

The lymphatic system is comprised of a network of vessels interrelated with lymphoid tissue,
which has the holistic function to maintain the local physiologic environment for every cell in …

Recent studies have suggested that lymphatics help to restore heart function after cardiac
injury,,,,–. Here we report that lymphatics promote cardiac growth, repair and …

Several cell populations have been reported to possess intestinal stem cell (ISC) activity
during homeostasis and injury-induced regeneration. Here, we explored inter-relationships …

Blood and lymphatic vasculatures are intimately involved in tissue oxygenation and fluid
homeostasis maintenance. Assembly of these vascular networks involves sprouting …
