They determined that the shape of these cells is crucial to that adaptability. While scientists have long known about the lobate, puzzle-like shape of capillary lymphatic endothelial cells, the reason ...

This turned out to be due to the cells' capacity to continuously change their peculiar shape. It has been known for a long time that capillary lymphatic endothelial cells have a lobate shape ...

Oak-leaf, puzzle-like shapes and discontinuous cell–cell junctions are defining features of lymphatic capillary endothelial cells. A study by Schoofs et al. provides insights into the molecular ...
