Journal ArticleDOI

Outflow of cerebrospinal fluid is predominantly through lymphatic vessels and is reduced in aged mice.

TL;DR: It is shown that the major outflow pathway for CSF in mice are lymphatic vessels and that this drainage decreases as the mice age, suggesting that the lymphatic system may represent a target for age-associated neurological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

An integrated expression atlas of miRNAs and their promoters in human and mouse.

TL;DR: An integrated expression atlas of miRNAs and their promoters by deep-sequencing 492 short RNA libraries, with matching Cap Analysis Gene Expression (CAGE) data, is created, establishing a foundation for detailed analysis of miRNA expression patterns and transcriptional control regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concurrent induction of lymphangiogenesis, angiogenesis, and macrophage recruitment by vascular endothelial growth factor-C in melanoma.

TL;DR: The presence of intratumoral lymphatics and enlargement of lymphatic vessels at the tumor periphery in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C-overexpressing human melanomas transplanted onto nude mice is demonstrated and VEGF-C is identified as multifunctional factor involved in regulating tumor lymphangiogenesis, angiogenic, and immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI

The rediscovery of the lymphatic system: old and new insights into the development and biological function of the lymphatic vasculature

TL;DR: The lymphatic system is composed of a vascular network of thin-walled capillaries that drain protein-rich lymph from the extracellular spaces within most organs, and lymphatic vessels are not normally present in avascular structures such as epidermis, hair, nails, cartilage, and cornea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lymphatic reprogramming of blood vascular endothelium by Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus.

TL;DR: It is shown that infection of differentiated blood vascular endothelial cells with Kaposi sarcoma–associated herpesvirus leads to their lymphatic reprogramming; induction of ∼70% of the main lymphatic lineage–specific genes, including PROX1, a master regulator of lymphatic development; and downregulation of blood vascular genes.
