Humans bearing mutations in vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) or its receptor tyrosine kinase (FLT4) have defects in the formation of their lymphatic system, which is important for draining interstitial fluid back into the circulatory system.  As a consequence, these patients display severe lymphedema (bottom left).  In zebrafish, we have generated mutations in vegfc and flt4, both of which are conserved between zebrafish and humans.  Like humans, zebrafish larvae also display lymphedema due to a failure to form a complete lymphatic system (bottom right).

Bearded young man with a sack of flour over his shoulder speaking into a megaphone. His purple T says Standing Together in Arabic and Hebrew.

My friend Alon-Lee Green of the Palestinian-Jewish group @standing-together.bsky.social telling Israeli soldiers to refuse service in Gaza:
โ€œRefuse to starve.
Refuse to kill.
Refuse occupation.
Refuse annihilation.โ€

Tonight the heroic @standing-together.bsky.social, a movement of Jewish and Palestinan Israeli citizens, disrupted a broadcast of Israeli Big Brother to demand an end to the war. The T-shirt of the activist pictured says โ€œgetting out of Gazaโ€
