The role of lymph node-derived lymphatic endothelial cells in immune modulation in the tumour microenvironment
(2019-03-23)The lymphatic vasculature is a key player in progression of many cancers, with lymphangiogenesis at the primary tumour and tumour-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) associated with poor patient prognosis. As well as providing a ... -
