Special Feature: ASELLI AWARD WINNER 2023: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A LYMPHOMANIAC
- D.G. Jackson
Abstract
Winning a scientific prize is always a welcome honor and receiving the Aselli Award in 2023 was a particularly pleasant surprise. The following text provides a brief summary of the research carried out by my group in Oxford that led to the discovery of the lymphatic endothelial marker LYVE-1 and its emerging role as a pivotal receptor controlling the entry of immune cells and metastatic tumor cells to lymphatic capillaries in peripheral tissues. As a basic scientist and relatively late comer to the field of lymphology, my hope is that a closer partnership of basic and clinical research will help explain the intricate workings of the lymphatics and improve the picture for patients suffering from much neglected lymphatic disorders.
