Journal Article

Vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growth factor, microvascular hyperpermeability, and angiogenesis.

TL;DR: T tumors have "borrowed" fundamental mechanisms that developed in multicellular organisms for purposes of tissue defense, renewal, and repair and taught us something new about angiogenesis, namely, that vascular hyperpermeability and consequent plasma protein extravasation are important, perhaps essential, elements in its generation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A promoter-level mammalian expression atlas

Alistair R. R. Forrest, +280 more
- 27 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: For example, the authors mapped transcription start sites (TSSs) and their usage in human and mouse primary cells, cell lines and tissues to produce a comprehensive overview of mammalian gene expression across the human body.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of tumor lymphangiogenesis by VEGF-C promotes breast cancer metastasis

TL;DR: The occurrence and biological significance of intratumoral lymphangiogenesis within human breast cancers after orthotopic transplantation onto nude mice are established and VEGF-C is identified as a molecular link between tumor lymphang iogenesis and metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A dural lymphatic vascular system that drains brain interstitial fluid and macromolecules

TL;DR: The presence of a lymphatic vessel network in the dura mater of the mouse brain is discovered and it is shown that these dural lymphatic vessels are important for the clearance of macromolecules from the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

An essential role for Prox1 in the induction of the lymphatic endothelial cell phenotype

TL;DR: It is proposed that a blood vascular phenotype is the default fate of budding embryonic venous endothelial cells; upon expression of Prox1, these budding cells adopt a lymphatic vasculature phenotype.
