This study combines single-cell transcriptomics with 3D imaging to build the most detailed map to date of the human skin lymphatic vasculature. Aline Bauer and colleagues uncover previously unrecognized lymphatic endothelial cell subtypes, including specialized valve and mechanosensitive populations, and reveal important differences between human and mouse lymphatics. The work provides a new reference atlas for understanding lymphatic function in health and disease.
