25 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although the lymphatic system arises as an extension of venous vessels in the embryo, little is known about the role of circulating progenitors in the maintenance or development of lymphatic endothelium. Here, we investigated whether hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have the potential to give rise to lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Following the transfer of marked...
