Collado-Diaz, Christakopoulou, Schineis et al. @halinlab.bsky.social @ethz.ch show that lymphatic endothelial cells generate a soluble chemokine variant, CCL21-ΔC, through uPA/plasmin-dependent cleavage. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

JEM’s January issue is here! rupress.org/jem/issue/22...
The cover is a light-sheet #microscopy image of a cleared, immunostained human skin biopsy depicting podoplanin-positive, αSMA-negative lymphatic vessels (yellow-red) & αSMA-positive blood vessels (blue). (Bauer et al. doi.org/10.1084/jem....)

Feeling incredibly grateful to have been awarded a two‑year @ethz.ch postdoctoral fellowship to investigate lymphatic–immune interactions and immune trafficking in solid tumours. Excited for this opportunity to pursue this work and deeply thankful to @halinlab.bsky.social for the tremendous support!

Thanks for choosing my picture from our @jem.org paper for a biomedical picture of the day @bpodaily.bsky.social! It's always great to show the importance of the "other vessels"- the beautiful lymphatic system!
