Lymphangiogenesis New Mechanisms
A mouse model has been developed to study lymphangiogenesis dissociated from angiogenesis. bFGF implanted in a mouse cornea at a concentration below the threshold to induce angiogenesis potently induces lymphangiogenesis. This model has permitted a study of cellular and molecular mechanisms of lymphangiogenesis.
