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

A review of factors that influence individual compliance with mass drug administration for elimination of lymphatic filariasis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The success of programs to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (LF) depends in large part on their ability to achieve and sustain high levels of compliance with mass drug administration (MDA). This paper reports results from a comprehensive review

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
