Isolation and characterisation of lymphatic endothelial cells from lung tissues affected by lymphangioleiomyomatosis

Abstract Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare pulmonary disease characterised by the proliferation of smooth muscle-like cells (LAM cells), and an abundance of lymphatic vessels in LAM lesions. Studies reported that vascular endothelial growth factor-D (VEGF-D) secreted by LAM cells contributes...
