Lymphatic/blood vessel plasticity: motivation for a future research area based on present and past observations

The lymphatic system plays a significant role in homeostasis and drainage of excess fluid back into venous circulation. Lymphatics are also associated with a number of diseases including lymphedema, tumor metastasis, and various lymphatic malformations. Emerging evidence suggests that lymphatics might have a bigger connection to the blood vascular system than originally presumed. As these two systems are often...
