Mechanisms of Tumor-Induced Lymphovascular Niche Formation in Draining Lymph Nodes

Summary: Enlargement of the lymphatic vascular network in tumor-draining lymph nodes (LNs) often precedes LN metastasis, likely providing a lymphovascular niche for tumor cells. We investigated morphological and molecular changes associated with the lymphatic remodeling process, using the 4T1 breast...
