Abstract: The lymphatic system is implicated in interstitial fluid balance regulation, immune cell trafficking, edema, and cancer metastasis. New insights into lymphangiogenesis research have been due to the discovery of lymphatic-specific markers and growth factors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family, such as VEGF-C and VEGF-D. Knowledge of lymphatic development has now been redefined at the molecular level, providing an interesting target for innovative therapies.
