Blood Vessels and Lymphatic Vessels

2019
Development 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.

Microsurgical Lymphatic Vessel Transplantation

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 2015
Lymphedema 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

2013
The 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, 2003
The 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.

Development of Lymphatic Vessels: Tumour Lymphangiogenesis and Lymphatic Invasion

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2005
In human solid cancer, the lymph node status is the most important prognostic indicator for the clinical outcome of patients. Follow-up data has shown that about 80% of metastasis follows an orderly pattern of progression via the lymphatic network while about 20% systemic metastasis occurs, bypassing the lymphatic system.

Imaging blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the zebrafish

2016
Blood vessels supply tissues and organs with oxygen, nutrients, cellular, and humoral factors, while lymphatic vessels regulate tissue fluid homeostasis, immune trafficking, and dietary fat absorption. Understanding the mechanisms of vascular morphogenesis has become a subject of intense clinical interest because of the close association of both types ...

Impact of Lymphatic Vessels on the Heart

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2010
This review updates the knowledge in the research field of cardiac lymphatic vessels by collecting both scientific evidence and hypotheses, including cardiac lymphatic vessel anatomy and lymph flow, the mechanism of cardiac lymphatic pumping, pathological findings and mechanisms of cardiac injury caused by lymph flow impairment, cardiac functional ...
