Specialized mesenteric lymphatic capillaries by-pass the mesenteric lymph node chain to transport peritoneal antigens directly into mediastinal lymph nodes.

Esther Redder, Nils Kirschnick, Shentong Fang, Michael T. Kuhlmann, Alejandra González‐Loyola, Tania Wyss, Martin Stehling, Ralf H. Adams, Tatiana V. Petrova, Kari K. Alitalo, Antal Rot, Friedemann Kiefer

The paper identifies a specialized mesenteric lymphatic capillary network that bypasses mesenteric lymph nodes to directly transport peritoneal antigens into mediastinal lymph nodes.

The blood vasculature instructs lymphatics patterning in a SOX7-dependent manner

Ivy Kim Chiang, Matthew S. Graus, Nils Kirschnick, Tara Davidson, Winnie Luu, Richard Harwood, Keyi Jiang, Bitong Li, Yew Yan Wong, Mehdi Denis Moustaqil, Emmanuelle Lesieur, Renae Skoczylas, Valérie Kouskoff, Jan Kazenwadel, Luis Arriola‐Martinez, , Mathias François

This study identifies SOX7 as a transcription factor in blood vascular endothelial cells that represses Vegfc expression, influencing lymphatic vessel patterning in mice.

Direct specification of lymphatic endothelium from non-venous angioblasts

Irina-Elena Lupu, Nils Kirschnick, Sarah Weischer, Inés Martínez‐Corral, Aden Forrow, Ines Lahmann, Paul Richard Riley, Thomas Zobel, Taija Mäkinen, Friedemann Kiefer, Oliver Andrew Stone

This study identifies a direct origin of lymphatic endothelial cells from non-venous angioblasts, challenging the prevailing view that they primarily derive from venous endothelium.
