Differentiation of Lymphatic Endothelial Cells From Embryonic Stem Cells on OP9 Stromal Cells
12 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The discovery of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) and VEGF receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) has started to provide an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of lymphangiogenesis. The homeobox gene prox1 has been proven to specify lymphatic endothelial cells (ECs) from blood ECs. We investigated the process of lymphatic EC (LEC) differentiation using embryonic stem (ES) cells. METHODS AND RESULTS:...
