Lymphatic vascular response to acute inflammation. [PDF]
During acute inflammation, functioning lymphatics are believed to reduce edema and to provide a transiting route for immune cells, but the extent at which the dermal lymphatic remodeling impacts lymphatic transport or the factors regulating these changes

The lymphatic vasculature provides an essential route to drain fluid, macromolecules, and immune cells from the interstitium as lymph, returning it to the bloodstream where the thoracic duct meets the subclavian vein.

Lymphatic Vessels at the Heart of the Matter [PDF]
Emergent research in the past decades has brought to light the importance of lymphatic vessels in tissue homeostasis, immunity, metabolism, and inflammation. In Nature, Klotz et al. (2015) demonstrate that cardiac lymphatics have a unique ontology compared to visceral lymphatics and that promoting their growth can improve cardiac function following ...

Pathogenic Exploitation of Lymphatic Vessels
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

Characterization, Localization and Patterning of Lymphatics and Blood Vessels in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Comparative Study Using D2-40 and CD-34 IHC Marker [PDF]
Objectives: Lymphatic metastasis has always been regarded as a major prognostic indicator for disease progression and as a guide for therapeutic strategies to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Summary:. Clinical studies have reported that lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) is more effective for early-stage lymphedema. However, the diameter of lymphatic vessels in early-stage lymphedema is thin (only about 0.3 mm). In this article, we report a
