Abstract

It has been demonstrated that the lymphatic system plays important roles in tissue development and the progress of diseases. Recent studies identified that lymphatic endothelial cells can secret many proteins with diverse functions. This article highlights the physiological significances of these lymphangiocrine signals in different tissues.

Keywords: lymphatic system; metabolism; secretory factors.
