Stefanie Dimmeler: How the Lymphatic System Shapes Heart Aging
Stefanie Dimmeler, Chair, German Center for Cardiovascular Research at DZHK Deutsches Zentrum für Herz-Kreislauf-Forschung e. V., shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, adding:
“Publication alert!
In this study, we show how the heart ages: drainage by the lymphatic vasculature – the body’s second vascular system – declines, leading to increased inflammation.
Many thanks to Julian, Hamza, the entire team, and all our collaborators for making this important study possible!”
