Developing Computational Geometry and Network Graph Models of Human Lymphatic System
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 ...

Kaposin-B enhances the PROX1 mRNA stability during lymphatic reprogramming of vascular endothelial cells by Kaposi's sarcoma herpes virus. [PDF]
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most common cancer among HIV-positive patients. Histogenetic origin of KS has long been elusive due to a mixed expression of both blood and lymphatic endothelial markers in KS tumor cells.

Podoplanin immunopositive lymphatic vessels at the implant interface in a rat model of osteoporotic fractures [PDF]
Insertion of bone substitution materials accelerates healing of osteoporotic fractures. Biodegradable materials are preferred for application in osteoporotic patients to avoid a second surgery for implant replacement. Degraded implant fragments are often

Lymphatic Senescence: Current Updates and Perspectives
Lymphatic flow is necessary for maintenance of vital physiological functions in humans and animals. To carry out optimal lymphatic flow, adequate contractile activity of the lymphatic collectors is necessary.

Research on the Glial–Lymphatic System and Its Relationship With Alzheimer’s Disease
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 ...

Is There a Cerebral Lymphatic System? [PDF]
The brain is unique among virtually all somatic organs in its lack of a conventional lymphatic vasculature.1–3 In the periphery, the lymphatic circulation facilitates the clearance of extracellular proteins and excess fluid from the interstitium, a role critical to tissue homeostasis and function.4,5 Yet within the brain, despite its complex ...

Developing eradication investment cases for onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, and human African trypanosomiasis : rationale and main challenges [PDF]
An EIC is essentially an economic composite assessment in the broader meaning of economics, addressing thus all three fundamental economics questions. An EIC in fact answers: 1) the ‘‘What’’ question, that compares remaining in control mode versus moving

Engineering the Lymphatic System [PDF]
The recent advances in our understanding of lymphatic physiology and the role of the lymphatics in actively regulating fluid balance, lipid transport, and immune cell trafficking has been furthered in part through innovations in imaging, tissue engineering, quantitative biology, biomechanics, and computational modeling.
