Tracking the source of the hepatitis B virus-specific CD8 T cells during lamivudine treatment [PDF]
Lamivudine treatment in chronic hepatitis B leads to the reconstitution of virus-specific T cells in the circulation, but it is not clear whether this is the preferential result of T cell efflux from the liver or lymph nodes.

Lymph Node Metastasis Prediction from Primary Breast Cancer US Images Using Deep Learning.
Background Deep learning (DL) algorithms are gaining extensive attention for their excellent performance in image recognition tasks. DL models can automatically make a quantitative assessment of complex medical image characteristics and achieve increased

Mediastinal lymph nodes segmentation using 3D convolutional neural network ensembles and anatomical priors guiding [PDF]
As lung cancer evolves, the presence of enlarged and potentially malignant lymph nodes must be assessed to properly estimate disease progression and select the best treatment strategy. Following the clinical guidelines, estimation of short-axis diameter and mediastinum station are paramount for correct diagnosis.

1399 H&E-stained sentinel lymph node sections of breast cancer patients: the CAMELYON dataset
Background The presence of lymph node metastases is one of the most important factors in breast cancer prognosis. The most common way to assess regional lymph node status is the sentinel lymph node procedure.

RAB25 expression is epigenetically downregulated in oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma with lymph node metastasis [PDF]
Oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OOSCC) have a low survival rate, mainly due to metastasis to the regional lymph nodes. For optimal treatment of these metastases, a neck dissection is required; however, inaccurate detection methods results

Lymph sacs are not required for the initiation of lymph node formation [PDF]
The lymphatic vasculature drains lymph fluid from the tissue spaces of most organs and returns it to the blood vasculature for recirculation. Before reaching the circulatory system, antigens and pathogens transported by the lymph are trapped by the lymph nodes.

SFUSNet: A Spatial-Frequency domain-based Multi-branch Network for diagnosis of Cervical Lymph Node Lesions in Ultrasound Images [PDF]
Booming deep learning has substantially improved the diagnosis for diverse lesions in ultrasound images, but a conspicuous research gap concerning cervical lymph node lesions still remains. The objective of this work is to diagnose cervical lymph node lesions in ultrasound images by leveraging a deep learning model. To this end, we first collected 3392

Incidence of lymph node metastases in clinical early-stage mucinous and seromucinous ovarian carcinoma: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Objective: The use of lymph node sampling during staging procedures in clinical early-stage mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) is an ongoing matter of debate. Furthermore, the incidence of lymph node metastases (LNM) in MOC in relation to tumour grade (G)

Deflating the Lymph Node [PDF]
Although the lymph node lymphatic vessel growth and development is positively regulated by B cells and macrophages, Kataru et al. (2011), in this issue of Immunity, show negative regulation of lymphatic vessels by interferon-γ from T cells.
