This editorial refers to ‘Adrenomedullin induces lymphangiogenesis and ameliorates secondary lymphoedema’ by Jin et al.,1 pp. 339–345, this issue.

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

Traditionally, researchers studying the vasculature examine either the biology of the large, arterial, high-pressure vessels or the resistance-regulating (arteriolar) or microvessels (capillaries), or less commonly, the venous, low-pressure vasculature. The lymphatic vasculature gets far less attention by the cardiovascular research community. This is despite the fact that the lymphatics play very important roles in the tissue clearance of macromolecules, in the removal of immigrated cells from tissues such as after inflammation, and in the interstitial fluid homeostasis. Nevertheless, comparably little is . . . [Full Text of this Article]
