Chronic high-fat diet impairs collecting lymphatic vessel function in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Lymphatic vessels play an essential role in intestinal lipid uptake, and impairment of lymphatic vessel function leads to enhanced adipose tissue accumulation in patients with lymphedema and in genetic mouse models of lymphatic dysfunction.

Biomechanics of a Lymphatic Vessel
Blood Vessels, 2008 The principles of mechanics and the current notions of lymphatic physiology are integrated into a simple mathematical model of a lymphatic vessel which establishes a theoretical base for lymph propulsion in the lymphatic system. The model specifically considers the active and passive contractilities of the lymphatics.

Insulin-like growth factor signaling regulates zebrafish lymphatic-vessel development
Cell ReportsSummary: The coordinated migration of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) is essential for the development of the lymphatic network. Here, we uncover the role of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling pathway in zebrafish lymphatic vessel ...

Axillary Web Syndrome Evidence for Lymphatic Origin with Thrombosis [PDF]
, 2020 Background: The axillary web syndrome (AWS) occurs in the axilla and on the frontal side of the upper arm and sometimes along the forearm to the thumb. The cord is painful, particularly on movement, and can therefore be very distressing for the patient ...

Decline of lymphatic vessel density and function in murine skin during aging. [PDF]
, 2015 Lymphatic vessels play important roles in the pathogenesis of many conditions that have an increased prevalence in the elderly population. However, the effects of the aging process on the lymphatic system are still relatively unknown. We have applied non-

Pathogenic Exploitation of Lymphatic Vessels
Cells, 2022 Lymphatic vessels provide a critical line of communication between peripheral tissues and their draining lymph nodes, which is necessary for robust immune responses against infectious agents. At the same time, lymphatics help shape the nature and kinetics of immune responses to ensure resolution, limit tissue damage, and prevent autoimmune responses. A

Lymphatic vascular morphogenesis in development, physiology, and disease [PDF]
, 2011 The lymphatic vasculature constitutes a highly specialized part of the vascular system that is essential for the maintenance of interstitial fluid balance, uptake of dietary fat, and immune response. Recently, there has been an increased awareness of the

Tumor-induced myeloid cell plasticity toward lymphatic endothelium [PDF]
, 2009 Tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis contributes to tumor progression by regulating interstitial fluid pressure, transporting immune cells to the tumor site and providing a route for metastatic dissemination.
