Developing Computational Geometry and Network Graph Models of Human Lymphatic System

open access: yesComputation, 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 ...

Transcription Factor Control of Lymphatic Quiescence and Maturation of Lymphatic Neovessels in Development and Physiology

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
The lymphatic system is a vascular system comprising modified lymphatic endothelial cells, lymph nodes and other lymphoid organs. The system has diverse, but critical functions in both physiology and pathology, and forms an interface between the blood ...

Kaposin-B enhances the PROX1 mRNA stability during lymphatic reprogramming of vascular endothelial cells by Kaposi's sarcoma herpes virus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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

open access: yesBiology, 2021
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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Is There a Cerebral Lymphatic System? [PDF]

open access: yesStroke, 2013
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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]

open access: yesCardiovascular Engineering and Technology, 2011
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.
