text: In a mouse model of postmastectomy lymphedema, local and transient VEGFC overexpression induced functional lymphatic network restoration in the damaged areas.141 VEGFC initially induces aberrant and leaky vessels, which is followed by a prolonged period of remodeling, differentiation, and maturation, resulting in a functional network of collecting lymphatic vessels containing valves and mural cells.
text: Lymphatic vessels also contain numerous valves that keep lymph flowing in just one direction, thereby preventing backflow.
text: The larger vessels contain valves to prevent backflow and pump towards the heart to return lymph fluid to the bloodstream by the subclavian veins.
