Defective lymphatic valve development and chylothorax in mice with a lymphatic-specific deletion of Connexin43.

Defective lymphatic valve development and chylothorax in mice with a lymphatic-specific deletion of Connexin43.

Lymphatic valves (LVs) are cusped luminal structures that permit the movement of lymph in only one direction and are therefore critical for proper lymphatic vessel function. Congenital valve aplasia or agenesis can, in some cases, be a direct cause of lymphatic disease. Knowledge about the molecular...
