Funded Activity Summary

The lymphatic vasculature is a crucial part of our vascular system required for tissue fluid drainage and maintenance of fluid homeostasis. Lymphatic vessels play major roles in vascular pathologies and in the spread of solid tumours during cancer progression. We have discovered a new molecular regulator controlling the formation of lymphatic vessels. This project will determine the signalling pathway employed by this new regulator and potential for future therapeutic applications.
