Lymphatic Function in Autoimmune Diseases [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Lymphatic vessels are critical for clearing fluid and inflammatory cells from inflamed tissues and also have roles in immune tolerance. Given the functional association of the lymphatics with the immune system, lymphatic dysfunction may contribute to the

The Impact of Estrogen Receptor in Arterial and Lymphatic Vascular Diseases [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 The lower incidence of cardiovascular diseases in pre-menopausal women compared to men is well-known documented. This protection has been largely attributed to the protective effect of estrogens, which exert many beneficial effects against arterial ...

Gastrointestinal lymphatics in health and disease [PDF]
Pathophysiology, 2009 Lymphatics perform essential transport and immune regulatory functions to maintain homeostasis in the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Although blood and lymphatic vessels function as parallel and integrated systems, our understanding of lymphatic structure, regulation and functioning lags far behind that of the blood vascular system. This chapter reviews

Immunopathogenesis of lymphatic filarial disease [PDF]
Seminars in Immunopathology, 2012 Although two thirds of the 120 million people infected with lymph-dwelling filarial parasites have subclinical infections, ~40 million have lymphedema and/or other pathologic manifestations including hydroceles (and other forms of urogenital disease), episodic adenolymphangitis, tropical pulmonary eosinophilia, lymphedema, and (in its most severe form)

The lymphatics in kidney health and disease [PDF]
Nature Reviews Nephrology, 2021 The mammalian vascular system consists of two networks: the blood vascular system and the lymphatic vascular system. Throughout the body, the lymphatic system contributes to homeostatic mechanisms by draining extravasated interstitial fluid and facilitating the trafficking and activation of immune cells. In the kidney, lymphatic vessels exist mainly in

Lymphatic Connexins and Pannexins in Health and Disease [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 This review highlights current knowledge on the expression and function of connexins and pannexins, transmembrane channel proteins that play an important role in intercellular communication, in both the developing and mature lymphatic vasculature. A particular focus is given to the involvement of these proteins in functions of the healthy lymphatic ...

The lymphatic vascular system in liver diseases: its role in ascites formation [PDF]
Clinical and Molecular Hepatology, 2013 The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and plays a key role in normal vascular function. Its failure plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of various diseases including liver diseases.

Lymphatic-immune interactions in the musculoskeletal system [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyTraditionally, the role of lymphatic vessels has been understood as primarily involving fluid transport and immune surveillance. In addition to these roles, recent studies have revealed a paracrine function of lymphatics through the dissemination of ...
