Research Progress on Intracranial Lymphatic Circulation and Its Involvement in Disorders
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 The lymphatic system is an important part of the circulatory system, as an auxiliary system of the vein, which has the functions of immune defense, maintaining the stability of the internal environment, and regulating the pressure of the tissue.

Operating Principles of Peristaltic Pumping through a Dense Array of Valves [PDF]
J. Fluid Mech. 989 (2024) A18, 2021 Immersed nonlinear elements are prevalent in biological systems that require a preferential flow direction, such as the venous and the lymphatic system. We investigate here a certain class of models where the fluid is driven by peristaltic pumping and the nonlinear elements are ideal valves that completely suppress backflow.

Research on the Glial–Lymphatic System and Its Relationship With Alzheimer’s Disease
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Metabolic waste clearance is essential to maintain body homeostasis, in which the lymphatic system plays a vital role. Conversely, in recent years, studies have identified the glial–lymphatic system in the brain, which primarily comprises the inflow of ...

Developing Computational Geometry and Network Graph Models of Human Lymphatic System
Computation, 2017 The lymphatic system is a body-wide network of lymphatic vessels and lymphoid organs. The complexity of the structural and functional organization of the lymphatic system implies the necessity of using computational modeling approaches to unravel the ...

A 1D-0D-3D coupled model for simulating blood flow and transport processes in breast tissue [PDF]
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical
Engineering 38 (2022) e3612, 2022 In this work, we present mixed dimensional models for simulating blood flow and transport processes in breast tissue and the vascular tree supplying it. These processes are considered, to start from the aortic inlet to the capillaries and tissue of the breast.

Lymphangiogenesis and carcinoma in the uterine cervix: Joint and hierarchical models for random cluster sizes and continuous outcomes [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2015, Vol. 9, No. 4, 1932-1949, 2016 Although the lymphatic system is clearly linked to the metastasis of most human carcinomas, the mechanisms by which lymphangiogenesis occurs in response to the presence of carcinoma remain unclear. Hierarchical models are presented to investigate the properties of lymphatic vessel production in 2997 fields taken from 20 individuals with invasive ...

Neutrophil Interactions with the Lymphatic System [PDF]
Cells, 2021 The lymphatic system is a complex network of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes designed to balance fluid homeostasis and facilitate host immune defence. Neutrophils are rapidly recruited to sites of inflammation to provide the first line of protection against microbial infections.
