Historically, the importance of research in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis has been well recognized, but the focus on lymphangiogenesis has only recently started to have a major impact.
The last few years of research, have resulted not only in the identification of some key players that participate in the formation of the lymphatic vasculature, but also in the confirmation of suspected tight interconnection between the blood and lymphatic vasculatures. In addition, the recent generation of a limited but extremely valuable collection of animal models has identified a range of unexpected lymphatic-based defects and novel functional roles for the lymphatic vasculature.

The main goals of this workshop are to bring together a select group of the world’s leading researchers in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis and to discuss the field’s most pivotal topics including: Discussions of these topics will be tightly integrated with available mouse and other small animal models.
The workshop will provide a unique opportunity to generate an up-to-date review of the major research accomplishments of the last few years , as well as to help identify paramount questions and future directions . |
