Lymphatic System and Diseases
This is a sourced subject-directory page. Its presence does not mean a factual answer has been researched, or that the subject is a proven knowledge gap.
Scope of this subject
This cluster of papers focuses on the molecular mechanisms, regulation, and role of lymphangiogenesis in cancer metastasis and disease, with a particular emphasis on the involvement of VEGF-C, tumor lymphatics, macrophages, podoplanin, and VEGFR-3 signaling. It also addresses the implications of lymphedema and inflammation in the context of lymphatic vascular development.
OpenAlex generated this cluster description with an LLM. It describes research grouping, not verified findings.
