Blood vessel development and homeostasis is fine‐tuned by tissue demands. M Simons
and M Schwartz comment on this issue's article by Dr Lammert and colleagues, in which
they demonstrate that interstitial fluid mechanically induces growth of the lymphatic
vasculature and, therefore, that a similar principle regulates lymphatic development.
