Fluid Forces Control Structural Remodeling of Blind-Ended Lymphatic Microvessels. [PDF]
Adv Healthc MaterUsing innovative microfluidic biofabrication with fluid mechanical insights, we recapitulated the blind‐ended microanatomy and physiological drainage properties of capillary lymphatics. Our results reveal the interrelationship between intra‐ and extraluminal regions of lymphatic vessels due to flow‐induced sprouting and morphological changes that ...

Effects of adenosine on lymphangiogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: The lymphatic system controls tissue homeostasis by draining protein-rich lymph to the vascular system. Lymphangiogenesis, the formation of lymphatic vessels, is a normal event in childhood but promotes tumor spread and metastasis during ...

Lymphatics and Lymphangiogenesis in the Eye [PDF]
Journal of Ophthalmology, 2012 Lymphatic is a prerequisite for the maintenance of tissue fluid balance and immunity in the body. A body of evidence also shows that lymphangiogenesis plays important roles in the pathogenesis of diseases such as tumor metastasis and inflammation.

Integrins in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis [PDF]
Nature Reviews Cancer, 2008 Blood vessels promote tumour growth, and both blood and lymphatic vessels facilitate tumour metastasis by serving as conduits for the transport of tumour cells to new sites. Angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis are regulated by integrins, which are members of a family of cell surface receptors whose ligands are extracellular matrix proteins and ...

Lymphatic Endothelial Markers and Tumor Lymphangiogenesis Assessment in Human Breast Cancer
Diagnostics, 2021 Metastasis via lymphatic vessels or blood vessels is the leading cause of death for breast cancer, and lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis are critical prerequisites for the tumor invasion–metastasis cascade.

Lymphangiogenesis and Cancer [PDF]
Genes & Cancer, 2011 Historically, lymphatic vessels were considered passive participants in tumor metastasis by simply providing channels for tumor cells to transit to draining lymph nodes. The discovery of several key lymphatic-specific molecular markers and an increased availability of in vitro and in vivo experimental systems to study lymphatic biology have however ...
