Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 promotes the development of the lymphatic vasculature. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) is highly expressed by lymphatic endothelial cells and has been shown to stimulate lymphangiogenesis in adult mice. However, the role VEGFR2 serves in the development of the lymphatic vascular system

Cx47 fine-tunes the handling of serum lipids but is dispensable for lymphatic vascular function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Mutations in the gap junction protein connexin47 (Cx47) are associated with lymphedema. However, the role of Cx47 in lymphatic pathophysiology is unknown.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Microenvironmental signals produced during development or inflammation stimulate lymphatic endothelial cells to undergo lymphangiogenesis, in which they sprout, proliferate, and migrate to expand the vascular network.

A peristaltic soft, wearable robot for compression and massage therapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Soft robotics is attractive for wearable applications that require conformal interactions with the human body. Soft wearable robotic garments hold promise for supplying dynamic compression or massage therapies, such as are applied for disorders affecting lymphatic and blood circulation.

Modelling the Lymphatic Metastatic Progression Pathways of OPSCC from Multi-Institutional Datasets [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The elective clinical target volume (CTV-N) in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is currently based mostly on the prevalence of lymph node metastases in different lymph node levels (LNLs) for a given primary tumor location. We present a probabilistic model for ipsilateral lymphatic spread that can quantify the microscopic nodal involvement ...

Lymphatic vascularisation and involvement of Lyve-1+ macrophages in the human onchocerca nodule. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Onchocerciasis, caused by the filarial nematode Onchocerca volvulus, is a parasitic disease leading to debilitating skin disease and blindness, with major economic and social consequences. The pathology of onchocerciasis is principally considered to be a

The lymphatic vasculature in lung function and respiratory disease
Frontiers in Medicine, 2023 The lymphatic vasculature maintains tissue homeostasis via fluid drainage in the form of lymph and immune surveillance due to migration of leukocytes through the lymphatics to the draining lymph nodes.

Lymphatic disorders caused by mosaic, activating KRAS variants respond to MEK inhibition
JCI Insight, 2023 Central conducting lymphatic anomaly (CCLA) due to congenital maldevelopment of the lymphatics can result in debilitating and life-threatening disease with limited treatment options.

Mechanisms of organogenesis of primary lymphoid follicles [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 Primary lymphoid follicles in secondary lymphoid tissue of mammals are the backbone for the formation of follicular dendritic cell networks. These are important for germinal center reactions. In the context of organogenesis molecular requirements for the formation of follicles have been identified.
