38. Annual Congress of the German Society for Lymphology

I participated in the 38th Congress of the German Lymphological Society ( http://www.dglymph.de/ ) in Halle (Saale). The conference was very refreshing and interesting: It was very different from the meetings I typically attend because it was focussed on the practical aspects of clinical and ambulant management of diseases that involve the lymphatics. Because my talk was an introductory lecture about lymphangiogenesis research, it did not contain any unpublished data and hence I make it available for download. However, the slides are in German and - depending on the target audience - might require some commentary. The talk is a chronological account of the important publications in the field of lymphangiogenesis research starting from about 20 years ago; heavily biased towards my own work and work in which I have been participating.

Thanks to Jörg Wilting , I finally received permission from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Lymphologie (German Society for Lymphology ) to self-archive two review articles that I have been writing last year for the journal Lymphologie in Forschung ind Praxis . This is important, because otherwise, the impact sphere of the review would have been very limited. The first article discusses the molecular main players of lymphangiogenesis: VEGF-C and VEGF-D and their functions in embryonic lymphangiogenesis. The second article tries to summarize the roles that VEGF-C and VEGF-D play in diseases that are affecting the lymphatic system.
