Dermal lymphatic vessel contraction is associated with SMCs coverage (Control). A control mouse was anaesthetized and the ear was subcutaneously injected with Tritc Dextran, followed by time-lapse imaging for 5 minutes utilizing a Leica M205FA microscope with a PLANAPO 1.0x objective. A contraction site on the lymphatic vessel is indicated by the arrow. Scale bar, 200 μm.
