Fig. 4. — (a) LEC (LYVE-1⁺/Podoplanin⁺) cells derived from hPSCs (H9 and BJ1) were injected into the skin wound on the backs of nude mice. Lymphatic vessels indicated by arrows (LYVE-1) were significantly increased in mice injected with hPSC-LECs (H9 and BJ1) compared to the hLEC-control. ***p<0.001. Illustration in panel A was adapted with permission from [178]. (b) Fibrin/Collagen I hydrogels were used to generate dermo-epidermal skin grafts with blood and lymphatic capillaries. After 14 days post-transplantation, anastomosis occurred either as a “direct connection” (arrows) or as a “wrapping connection” (arrowheads). Dashed lines indicate the dermo-epidermal junction. Human lymphatic vessel (human podoplanin stained in red), rat lymphatic vessel (rat podoplanin stained in green), and nucleus stained in blue. Scale bars are 50 μm.
