The bright future of nanotechnology in lymphatic system imaging and imaging-guided surgery

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2022
Lymphatic system is identified the second vascular system after the blood circulation in mammalian species, however the research on lymphatic system has long been hampered by the lack of comprehensive imaging modality.

Lymphatic System Flows [PDF]

Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2018
The supply of oxygen and nutrients to tissues is performed by the blood system and involves a net leakage of fluid outward at the capillary level. One of the principal functions of the lymphatic system is to gather this fluid and return it to the blood system to maintain overall fluid balance. Fluid in the interstitial spaces is often at subatmospheric

The spinal lymphatic system: an emerging pathway bridging fluid homeostasis, immunity, and disease [PDF]

Bone Research
The lymphatic system, traditionally regarded as a unidirectional conduit for interstitial fluid and immune cell transport, has recently been redefined through the discovery of lymphatic networks along the spinal axis.

Compartmentalized ocular lymphatic system mediates eye-brain immunity. [PDF]

Nature
The eye, an anatomical extension of the central nervous system (CNS), exhibits many molecular and cellular parallels to the brain. Emerging research demonstrates that changes in the brain are often reflected in the eye, particularly in the retina1. Still,

The lymphatic system: a therapeutic target for central nervous system disorders

Neural Regeneration Research, 2023
The lymphatic vasculature forms an organized network that covers the whole body and is involved in fluid homeostasis, metabolite clearance, and immune surveillance.

Involvement of the glymphatic/meningeal lymphatic system in Alzheimer's disease: insights into proteostasis and future directions. [PDF]

Cell Mol Life Sci
Background  Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is pathologically characterized by the abnormal accumulation of Aβ and tau proteins. There has long been a keen interest among researchers in understanding how Aβ and tau are ultimately cleared in the brain.

Lymphatic System [PDF]

Definitions, 2020
As blood circulates through the body, exchanges of nutrients, wastes and gases occur between the capillaries and tissue spaces. These leaked interstitial fluids from capillaries must be carried back to the blood if the vascular system is to have ...

Crosstalk between lymphatic system and synovial inflammatory cells in osteoarthritis: molecular mechanisms and potential cell-based therapies [PDF]

Journal of Translational Medicine
The lymphatic system plays a significant part in interstitial fluid balance and immune surveillance throughout the whole body. In addition, recent studies have elucidated the role of the lymphatic system in maintaining the normal function of joints, and ...

Structural and functional analysis of the newt lymphatic system [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Regeneration competent vertebrates such as newts and salamanders possess a weakened adaptive immune system characterized by multiple connections between the lymphatic system and the blood vascular system called lymphatic hearts.
