A Csf1r lineage gives rise to dermal lymphatic endothelial cells

The paper identifies a Csf1r lineage contributing to 60% of embryonic dermal lymphatic endothelial cells and shows its necessity for normal lymphatic development.

A Pax3 lineage gives rise to transient haematopoietic progenitors

The paper identifies a transient population of Pax3 lineage cells in the mouse fetal liver and circulation with haematopoietic progenitor characteristics and the ability to generate myeloid and erythroid cells.

Tamoxifen exacerbates morbidity and mortality in mice receiving medetomidine anaesthesia

This study shows that tamoxifen treatment in male mice increases morbidity and mortality when combined with medetomidine or dexmedetomidine anaesthesia.

KIT is required for fetal liver erythropoiesis but dispensable for angiogenesis

The paper shows KIT is required for fetal liver erythropoiesis but not for yolk sac endoHT or brain angiogenesis.
