Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular biology of lymphatic endothelial cells have revealed that these vessels, besides their known function in tissue homeostasis and immunity, constitute conduits for the tumor cells to metastasize. One of the factors that contribute to tumor spread is the acquisition of an angiogenic phenotype as a response to the onset of tumor hypoxia. To our knowledge, little is known about the effects of low oxygen levels on the lymphatic vasculature. Therefo ...[more]
