Clinics in Dermatology, 2011
The traditional nomenclature of vascular lesions has been enlarged and modified with the usage of newer diagnostic techniques. Digital technology has enhanced the precision of older analog tools such as Doppler flow studies. Angiograms have also more precisely delineated flow patterns to allow planned surgical intervention as an important therapeutic ...

Optimal Lymphatic Vessel Structure
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005Lymphatic vessels transport excess interstitial fluid from the low-pressure tissues to the higher pressure veins. The basic structural unit of lymphatic vessels is the lymphangion, a segment of the vessel separated by two unidirectional valves. Lymphangions cyclically contract like ventricles and can actively pump lymph.

Blood Vessels and Lymphatic Vessels
2019Development of the vascular and lymphatic trees is essential for the formation of nearly every organ during embryonic and fetal life. In the fetus, there are some unique features of the vascular tree that facilitate the fetoplacental circulation in utero, such as the umbilical vein, umbilical arteries, ductus venosus, and ductus arteriosus.

Biological functions of lymphatic vessels
Science, 2020Roles of organ-specific lymphatic vessels Lymphatic vessels are spread throughout the human body and have critical functions in mammalian physiology. Petrova et al. review emerging roles of the lymphatic vasculature in organ function and pathology and provide perspectives beyond the traditional view of ...

Lymphatic Vessel Activation in Cancer
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008Most cancerous lesions metastasize through the lymphatic system and the status of regional lymph nodes is the most important indicator of a patient's prognosis. The extent of lymph node involvement with cancer is also an important parameter used for determining treatment options.

Lymphatic Vessel Activation in Cancer
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2002Abstract: Metastasis of most cancers occurs primarily through the lymphatic system, and the extent of lymph node involvement is the most important prognostic indicator. While the importance of the lymphatic system as a pathway for metastasis has been well recognized, there is very little information available about the mechanisms by which tumor cells ...

The lymphatic system extends its network of vessels throughout most of the body. Lymphatic vessels carry a fluid rich in proteins, immune cells, and long-chain fatty acids known as lymph. It results from an excess of interstitial tissue fluid collected from the periphery and transported centrally against hydrostatic pressure and protein concentration ...

Microsurgical Lymphatic Vessel Transplantation
Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 2015Lymphedema often arises after a regional interruption during cancer treatment, for example after lymph node resection the axilla or the groin. Lymphatic vessels as vascular grafts may overcome these lymphatic gaps.Experiments in rats and dogs were performed for developing this method.

Mechanosensing in Developing Lymphatic Vessels
2013The lymphatic vasculature is responsible for fluid homeostasis, transport of immune cells, inflammatory molecules, and dietary lipids. It is composed of a network of lymphatic capillaries that drain into collecting lymphatic vessels and ultimately bring fluid back to the blood circulation.

Genesis and pathogenesis of lymphatic vessels
Cell and Tissue Research, 2003The lymphatic system is generally regarded as supplementary to the blood vascular system, in that it transports interstitial fluid, macromolecules, and immune cells back into the blood. However, in insects, the open hemolymphatic (or lymphohematic) system ensures the circulation of immune cells and interstitial fluid through the body.
