Description:
|
It is well-understood that the lymphatic system controls fluid homeostasis in the body. However, investigators have just begun to study how lymphatic vessel function is controlled normally, and disease conditions. We will perform isolated lymphatic vessels experiments to better understand how lymphatic transmural permeability is regulated.
