Pathogenesis of persistent lymphatic vessel hyperplasia in chronic airway inflammation

Baluk, Peter, Tammela, Tuomas, Ator, Erin, Lyubynska, Natalya, Achen, Marc G., Hicklin, Daniel J., ...

Edema occurs in asthma and other inflammatory diseases when the rate of plasma leakage from blood vessels exceeds the drainage through lymphatic vessels and other routes. It is unclear to what extent...

Inflammation-induced lymphangiogenesis in the cornea arises from CD11b-positive macrophages

Maruyama, Kazuichi, Ii, Masaaki, Cursiefen, Claus, Jackson, David G., Keino, Hiroshi, Tomita, Minoru, ...

In the inflamed cornea, there is a parallel outgrowth of blood and lymphatic vessels into the normally avascular cornea. We tested whether adaptive and/or innate immune cells were actively involved...

Schacht, Vivien, Dadras, Soheil S., Johnson, Louise A., Jackson, David G., Hong, Young-Kwon, Detmar, Michael

The mucin-type glycoprotein podoplanin is specifically expressed by lymphatic but not blood vascular endothelial cells in culture and in tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis, and podoplanin deficiency...

Normal Lymphatic Development and Function in Mice Deficient for the Lymphatic Hyaluronan Receptor LYVE-1▿ †

Gale, Nicholas W., Prevo, Remko, Espinosa, Jorge, Ferguson, David J., Dominguez, Melissa G., Yancopoulos, George D., ...

The hyaluronan receptor LYVE-1 is expressed abundantly on the surfaces of lymphatic vessels and lymph node sinus endothelial cells from early development, where it has been suggested to function both...
