Progression of Metastasis through Lymphatic System
Cells, 2021 Lymph nodes are the most common sites of metastasis in cancer patients. Nodal disease status provides great prognostic power, but how lymph node metastases should be treated is under debate.

Molecular Mechanisms Controlling Lymphatic Endothelial Junction Integrity
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The lymphatic system is essential for lipid absorption/transport from the digestive system, maintenance of tissue fluid and protein homeostasis, and immune surveillance.

The lymphatic system and sentinel lymph nodes: conduit for cancer metastasis
Clinical and Experimental Metastasis, 2021 The lymphatic system is a complicated system consisting of the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes draining the extracellular fluid containing cellular debris, excess water and toxins to the circulatory system. The lymph nodes serve as a filter, thus, when

Progress on Brain and Ocular Lymphatic System
BioMed Research International, 2022 In recent years, 2 major discoveries have modified the traditional understanding of the brain. First, meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLV) were found in the dural sinus, which may absorb and drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Second, the glymphatic system was

Pulmonary lymphatic function and its research progress in pulmonary diseases
生物医学转化, 2023 The lymphatic system is a unidirectional network in which lymph fluid flows centripetally along a series of lymphatic channels and eventually into the veins, so the lymphatic system can also be considered an auxiliary part of the venous system and an ...

Cells, 2021 Entry to the afferent lymphatics marks the first committed step for immune cell migration from tissues to draining lymph nodes both for the generation of immune responses and for timely resolution of tissue inflammation.

TGF-β signaling in lymphatic vascular vessel formation and maintenance
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and its family members, including bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), nodal proteins, and activins, are implicated in the development and maintenance of various organs. Here, we review its role in the lymphatic vascular

In Sickness and in Health: The Immunological Roles of the Lymphatic System
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 The lymphatic system plays crucial roles in immunity far beyond those of simply providing conduits for leukocytes and antigens in lymph fluid. Endothelial cells within this vasculature are distinct and highly specialized to perform roles based upon their
