The CLEC-2–podoplanin axis controls fibroblastic reticular cell contractility and lymph node microarchitecture

In lymph nodes, fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) form a collagen-based reticular network that supports migratory dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells and transports lymph. A hallmark of FRCs is their propensity to contract collagen, yet this function is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that p...
