Abstract

Lioux et al., identify a population of coronary lymphatics that originates from non-venous cells of the Second Heart Field and contributes to about 50% of lymphatic endothelial cells of the ventral heart. This population is nonetheless essential for ventral heart lymphatics development, highlighting the functional relevance of coronary lymphatics heterogeneity.
