Distributions of venous sinusoids and lymphatic vessels in the mouse nasal cavity

Nature Cardiovascular Research volume 2, pages 423–424 (2023) Cite this article

Subjects

Our work defines three-dimensional atlases that illustrate the morphological and molecular heterogeneity of the mouse nasal vasculature and lymphatic system. The unique features of these vessels offer insights into their associations with nasal inflammation, infection and aging.
