Given its ubiquitous nature, lymphatic vessels play dynamic and multifaceted roles in different tissues, including maintenance of interstitial fluid balance, immunological surveillance, lipid ...

This article, the first in a six-part series, gives an overview of the lymphatic system, which circulates lymph fluid around the body to drain tissue, transport fat and activate immune responses. This ...

While researchers have long been familiar with the surface structure of lymphatic vessels, a groundbreaking study has now focused on their jigsaw puzzle-like pattern. This arrangement helps cells ...

In a study that was recently published in Research, Dr. Nashat Abumaria's research team (Institutes of Brain Science, Fudan University) in collaboration with Dr. Yi Feng's team (Department of ...

The lymphatic system is a network of branching vessels that regulate fluid balance and support the immune system. Its smallest capillaries, comprised of a single endothelial cell layer, must stay ...

The discovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels changed understanding of immune privilege and metabolic waste clearance mechanisms in the central nervous system. These lymphatic vessels play a key role ...

Lymphatic system plays a key role in waste clearance, fluid transport and immune surveillance in health and disease. In the brain, A network of lymphatic vessels was discovered on the surface the ...

When lymphatic vessels fail, typically their ability to pump out the fluid is compromised. Researchers have now developed a new treatment using nanoparticles that can repair lymphatic vessel pumping.

An international team led by National University of Singapore researchers has linked secondary lymphedema to excessive cholesterol buildup inside skin and around lymphatic vessels. Excess cholesterol ...
