In vivo visualization and quantification of collecting lymphatic vessel contractility using near-infrared imaging [PDF]

, 2016
Techniques to image lymphatic vessel function in either animal models or in the clinic are limited. In particular, imaging methods that can provide robust outcome measures for collecting lymphatic vessel function are sorely needed.

Modified Preparatory Intravascular Stenting Technique in Super-microsurgical Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis for the Treatment of Lymphedema

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2023
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

The contribution of bone marrow-derived cells to angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in murine models of carcinogenesis [PDF]

, 2009
Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth (division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via ...

Lymphatic Vessel Memory Stimulated by Recurrent Inflammation [PDF]

, 2013
Inflammation stimulates new lymphatic vessel growth (inflammatory lymphangiogenesis). One key question is how recurrent inflammation, a common clinical condition, regulates lymphatic vessel remodeling. We show here that recurrent inflammation accelerated

Primary Head and Neck Tumour-Derived Fibroblasts Promote Lymphangiogenesis in a Lymphatic Organotypic Co-culture Model

EBioMedicine, 2021
Background: In head and neck cancer, intratumour lymphatic density and tumour lymphangiogenesis have been correlated with lymphatic metastasis, making lymphangiogenesis a promising therapeutic target.

Lymphatic Vessels at the Heart of the Matter [PDF]

Cell Metabolism, 2015
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 ...

Renal lymphatic vessel dynamics

American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2020
Similar to other organs, renal lymphatics remove excess fluid, solutes, and macromolecules from the renal interstitium. Given the kidney’s unique role in maintaining body fluid homeostasis, renal lymphatics may be critical in this process. However, little is known regarding the pathways involved in renal lymphatic vessel function, and there are no ...

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

Are we nearly there yet? Coverage and compliance of mass drug administration for lymphatic filariasis elimination. [PDF]

, 2015
Lymphatic filariasis has been targeted for elimination by 2020, and a threshold of 65% coverage of mass drug administration (MDA) has been adopted by the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF).

Blood and Lymphatic Vessel Formation [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2015
Blood and lymphatic vessels deliver oxygen and nutrients, remove waste and CO2, and regulate interstitial pressure in tissues and organs. These vessels begin life early in embryogenesis using transcription factors and signaling pathways that regulate differentiation, morphogenesis, and proliferation.
