Lymphatic Malformations with Activating KRAS Mutations Impair Lymphatic Valve Development Through Matrix Metalloproteinases

Diandra M. Mastrogiacomo, Abbigail Price, Yuting Fu, Richa Banerjee, Luz A. Knauer, Kunyu Li, Ying Yang, George E. Davis, Michael T. Dellinger, Joshua Paul Scallan

This study shows that KRAS mutations impair lymphatic valve development by upregulating MMPs, which degrade the valve ECM core.

Rictor induces AKT signaling to regulate lymphatic valve formation

Richa Banerjee, Luz A. Knauer, Drishya Iyer, Sara E. Barlow, Joshua Paul Scallan, Ying Yang

This study shows that Rictor is essential for AKT signaling in lymphatic valve formation, as its deletion reduces valve numbers and impairs valve maturation.
