The mammalian fingertip has notable regenerative capacity, yet the underlying mechanisms—especially the role of #lymphatics—have been debated.
Here, Neda Vishlaghi @NedaVishlaghi, Benjamin Levi & team @UTSWMedCenter find reducing lymphatic vessels in a mouse amputation model accelerates bone breakdown and enhances regeneration, revealing a potential therapeutic target: https://t.co/ax1Gh7AbgY
The figure shows #lymphangiogenesis dynamics during digit tip regeneration.
