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

open access: yesScientific Reports, 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.

Synchronization and Random Triggering of Lymphatic Vessel Contractions

open access: yesPLoS Comput. Biol., 2016
The lymphatic system is responsible for transporting interstitial fluid back to the bloodstream, but unlike the cardiovascular system, lacks a centralized pump-the heart–to drive flow.

Lymphatic Vessels in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

open access: yesJournal of Inflammation Research
The purpose of this study was to analyze the nasal lymphatic system in order to uncover novel factors that might be involved in pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with (CRSwNP) and without nasal polyps (CRSsNP).Lymphatic vessels (LVs) and macrophages were localized and counted in the inferior and middle turbinate, the uncinate process and the

Development and plasticity of meningeal lymphatic vessels [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 2017
The recent discovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels (LVs) has raised interest in their possible involvement in neuropathological processes, yet little is known about their development or maintenance. We show here that meningeal LVs develop postnatally, appearing first around the foramina in the basal parts of the skull and spinal canal, sprouting along

Lack of evidence for the direct activation of endothelial cells by adult female and microfilarial excretory-secretory products. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Lymphangiectasia (dilation of the lymphatic vessel (LV)) is pathognomonic for lymphatic filariasis. In both infected humans and animal models of infection, lymphangiectasia is not restricted to the site of the worm nest, but is found along the infected ...

Lymphatic Vessels

open access: yes, 2008
Lymphatic vessels are the lymphatic capillaries, collecting vessels, and ducts that form an integral part of the one-way, open-ended circulatory system known as the lymphatic system. In addition to lymphatic vessels, the lymphatic system consists of lymph nodes and other lymphoid organs.

Prognostic significance of lymphangiogenesis in pharyngolaryngeal carcinoma patients

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2010
Background Lymphatic vessel spread is considered a major route for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma metastasis. Formation of new lymphatic vessels could facilitate the process, raising the malignant potential of these tumours.

GATA2 is required for lymphatic vessel valve development and maintenance.

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2015
Heterozygous germline mutations in the zinc finger transcription factor GATA2 have recently been shown to underlie a range of clinical phenotypes, including Emberger syndrome, a disorder characterized by lymphedema and predisposition to myelodysplastic ...
