Optimization and regeneration kinetics of lymphatic-specific photodynamic therapy in the mouse dermis. [PDF]
, 2013 Lymphatic vessels transport fluid, antigens, and immune cells to the lymph nodes to orchestrate adaptive immunity and maintain peripheral tolerance. Lymphangiogenesis has been associated with inflammation, cancer metastasis, autoimmunity, tolerance and ...

Synchronization and Random Triggering of Lymphatic Vessel Contractions
PLoS Comput. Biol., 2016 The lymphatic system is responsible for transporting interstitial fluid back to the bloodstream, but unlike the cardiovascular system, lacks a centralized pump-the heart–to drive flow.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Triblock copolymer‐reinforced liposomal mimics of extracellular vesicles are engineered with tunable membrane elasticity. A semi‐elastic formulation (Tri‐ARTEX8:2) co‐encapsulating stem cell cytosolic extract and AntagomiR155 targets inflamed joints via the ELVIS effect, reprograms macrophages from M1 to M2, and markedly alleviates collagen‐induced ...

Regulation of Lymphatic Function in Obesity
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The lymphatic system has many functions, including macromolecules transport, fat absorption, regulation and modulation of adaptive immune responses, clearance of inflammatory cytokines, and cholesterol metabolism.

Anatomical information science [PDF]
, 2005 The Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) is a map of the human body. Like maps of other sorts – including the map-like representations we find in familiar anatomical atlases – it is a representation of a certain portion of spatial reality as it exists at ...

T Cell Trafficking through Lymphatic Vessels [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2016 T cell migration within and between peripheral tissues and secondary lymphoid organs is essential for proper functioning of adaptive immunity. While active T cell migration within a tissue is fairly slow, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels (LVs) serve as speedy highways that enable T cells to travel rapidly over long distances.

GATA2 is required for lymphatic vessel valve development and maintenance.
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2015 Heterozygous germline mutations in the zinc finger transcription factor GATA2 have recently been shown to underlie a range of clinical phenotypes, including Emberger syndrome, a disorder characterized by lymphedema and predisposition to myelodysplastic ...

Human Skin Models in Biophotonics: Materials, Methods, and Applications
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review discusses how the optical properties of human skin can be replicated in human skin models. It describes the principles, materials, and techniques used to develop artificial skin for biophotonics research. Finally, the article highlights recent advances and shows how these models improve the study of light‐skin interactions without the need ...

Mechanical feedback mechanisms in a multiscale sliding filament model of lymphatic muscle pumping
Applications in Engineering ScienceThe lymphatic system maintains bodily fluid balance by returning interstitial fluid to the venous system. Flow can occur through a combination of extrinsic pumping, due to forces from surrounding tissues, and intrinsic pumping involving contractions of ...

In vivo vascularized scaffold with different shear-exposed models for lymphatic tissue regeneration
Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2023 Current clinical treatments on lymphedema provide promising results, but also result in donor site morbidities. The establishment of a microenvironment optimized for lymphangiogenesis can be an alternative way to enhance lymphatic tissue formation ...
