Heterogeneity in VEGFR3 levels drives lymphatic vessel hyperplasia through cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms

VEGF-C is a key regulator of lymphatic development. Here, Zhang et al. show that while complete loss of its receptor VEGFR3 results in vessel hypoplasia, mosaic loss of VEGFR3 leads to hyperplasia through induction of cell proliferation in neighboringnon-targeted cells, uncovering cell- and non-cell...
