Cdk5 controls lymphatic vessel development and function by phosphorylation of Foxc2. [PDF]
, 2015 The lymphatic system maintains tissue fluid balance, and dysfunction of lymphatic vessels and valves causes human lymphedema syndromes. Yet, our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying lymphatic vessel development is still limited. Here, we show

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 ...

Mathematical Modelling of the Structure and Function of the Lymphatic System
Mathematics, 2020 This paper presents current knowledge about the structure and function of the lymphatic system. Mathematical models of lymph flow in the single lymphangion, the series of lymphangions, the lymph nodes, and the whole lymphatic system are considered.

The clinical importance of micrometastases within the lymphatic system in patients after total gastrectomy [PDF]
, 2011 BackgroundIn spite of radical gastrectomy with resection of the lymphatic system, where no metastases are found during histopathological examination, about 30% of patients have relapse of the neoplastic process.

Platelets mediate lymphovenous hemostasis to maintain blood-lymphatic separation throughout life [PDF]
, 2013 Mammals transport blood through a high-pressure, closed vascular network and lymph through a low-pressure, open vascular network. These vascular networks connect at the lymphovenous (LV) junction, where lymph drains into blood and an LV valve (LVV ...

A spatially-organized multicellular innate immune response in lymph nodes limits systemic pathogen spread [PDF]
, 2012 The lymphatic network that transports interstitial fluid and antigens to lymph nodes constitutes a conduit system that can be hijacked by invading pathogens to achieve systemic spread unless dissemination is blocked in the lymph node itself.
