Morphological, Mechanical and Hydrodynamic Aspects of Diaphragmatic Lymphatics

Biology, 2022
The diaphragmatic lymphatic vascular network has unique anatomical characteristics. Studying the morphology and distribution of the lymphatic network in the mouse diaphragm by fluorescence-immunohistochemistry using LYVE-1 (a lymphatic endothelial marker)

High lymphatic vessel density and presence of lymphovascular invasion both predict poor prognosis in breast cancer

BMC Cancer, 2017
Background Lymphatic vessel density and lymphovascular invasion are commonly assessed to identify the clinicopathological outcomes in breast cancer. However, the prognostic values of them on patients’ survival are still uncertain.

Mechanical forces in lymphatic vessel development: Focus on transcriptional regulation

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
The lymphatic system is crucial for the maintenance of interstitial fluid and protein homeostasis. It has important roles in collecting excess plasma and interstitial fluid leaked from blood vessels, lipid absorption and transportation in the digestive ...

Review on the Lymphatic Vessels in the Dental Pulp [PDF]

Biology, 2021
Despite many studies, opinions on the lymphatic system of the teeth are still incompatible. Studies using light and electron microscopy and directly using methods such as a radioisotope (radionuclide) scan and interstitial fluid pressure measurement reported incomplete results. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) plays the main role in investigating presence of

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 ...

Clinical implications of increased lymph vessel density in the lymphatic metastasis of early-stage invasive cervical carcinoma: a clinical immunohistochemical method study

BMC Cancer, 2009
Background Cervical cancer is the most common malignant gynecological cancer, and lymphatic metastasis can occur in the early stage of tumor growth. Lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor-1 (LYVE-1), a marker for lymphatic endothelium, provides

Confocal Imaging: Blood and Lymphatic Capillaries

The Scientific World Journal, 2006
Traditional imaging techniques are quite limited for the study of the relationship between blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. Therefore, a new imaging technique is required based on blood vessel and lymphatic endothelial-specific molecular markers.

Lymphatic Vessels and Their Surroundings: How Local Physical Factors Affect Lymph Flow

Biology, 2020
Lymphatic vessels drain and propel lymph by exploiting external forces that surrounding tissues exert upon vessel walls (extrinsic mechanism) and by using active, rhythmic contractions of lymphatic muscle cells embedded in the vessel wall of collecting ...
