Intracellular uptake of macromolecules by brain lymphatic endothelial cells during zebrafish embryonic development

The lymphatic system controls fluid homeostasis and the clearance of macromolecules from interstitial compartments. In mammals brain lymphatics were only recently discovered, with significant implications for physiology and disease. We examined zebrafish for the presence of brain lymphatics and foun...
