Darci Fink's Research

Primary Cilia in Lymphatic Vascular Biology: Investigating how primary cilia function as mechanosensory and signaling organelles in lymphatic endothelial cells, with a focus on vessel development, maintenance and remodeling.
In Vitro and In Vivo Modeling of Ciliary Function: Utilizing immortalized cell lines and genetically modified mouse models lacking IFT20 to uncover molecular pathways that link ciliary signaling to lymphatic structure and function.
Recurrent Lymphangiogenesis in Tissue Repair: Studying how lymphatic vessels regrow following injury and contribute to wound healing and immune regulation, with implications for chronic inflammation and regenerative medicine.
