Essential role of prostaglandin E2 and the EP3 receptor in lymphatic vessel development during zebrafish embryogenesis

Abstract Lymphatic endothelial cells arise from the venous endothelial cells in embryonic lymphatic development. However, the molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. We here report that prostaglandin (PG) E2 plays essential roles in the embryonic lymphatic development through the EP3 receptor,...
