Lymphangiogenesis: Molecular mechanisms and future promise.

Molecular/Cancer Biology Laboratory and Haartman Institute, University of Helsinki, Finland.

Abstract

The growth of lymphatic vessels (lymphangiogenesis) is actively involved in a number of pathological processes including tissue inflammation and tumor dissemination but is insufficient in patients suffering from lymphedema, a debilitating condition characterized by chronic tissue edema and impaired immunity. The recent explosion of knowledge on the molecular mechanisms governing lymphangiogenesis provides new possibilities to treat these diseases.
