Interestingly, plant epidermal cells have a strikingly similar lobate shape, which provides structural rigidity. We teamed up with plant biologists R. Smith and M. Majda. In silico modeling showed that, similar to plants, the lobate shape of LECs helps prevent lumen collapse in lymphatic capillaries
