Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of Fat4 and Dachsous1 signaling in the lymphatic vasculature. APPROACH AND RESULTS: Phenotypic analysis of the lymphatic vasculature was performed in mice lacking functional Fat4 or Dachsous1. The overall architecture of lymphatic vasculature is unaltered, yet both genes are specifically required for lymphatic valve morphogenesis. Valve endothelial...
