Abstract
Emergent research in the past decades has brought to light the importance of lymphatic vessels in tissue homeostasis, immunity, metabolism, and inflammation. In Nature, Klotz et al. (2015) demonstrate that cardiac lymphatics have a unique ontology compared to visceral lymphatics and that promoting their growth can improve cardiac function following injury.
