This study generates human lymphatic organoids from pluripotent stem cells using two mesodermal routes, showing they form functional vascular networks and support immune interactions.

This study shows that tissue-resident macrophages are critical for eardrum development and neurovascular network maturation, and their depletion leads to smaller eardrums and increased middle-ear infection risk.

The paper identifies an NTRK2 isoform switch in BPD lungs that impairs endothelial regeneration and shows that restoring full-length NTRK2 mRNA can reverse alveolar damage.

This study shows that TRPV1-mediated macrophage recruitment and angiogenesis are essential for eardrum wound healing.

This study shows pericytes support vascular stability and spiral ganglion neuron survival through exosome-mediated VEGF-A signaling, impacting hearing.
