GIANT CYSTIC HYGROMA COLLI IN AN ADULT- A RARE CASE REPORT [PDF]

, 2012
Cystic hygroma (lymphangioma) is often a benign congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that occurs as a result of sequestration or obstruction of lymphatic vessels. Theselesions are usually discovered in infant or children younger than two years

Meningeal lymphatic vessel crosstalk with central nervous system immune cells in aging and neurodegenerative diseases

Neural Regeneration Research
Meningeal lymphatic vessels form a relationship between the nervous system and periphery, which is relevant in both health and disease. Meningeal lymphatic vessels not only play a key role in the drainage of brain metabolites but also contribute to ...

Mechanobiologically Engineered Mimicry of Extracellular Vesicles for Improved Systemic Biodistribution and Anti‐Inflammatory Treatment Efficacy in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Triblock copolymer‐reinforced liposomal mimics of extracellular vesicles are engineered with tunable membrane elasticity. A semi‐elastic formulation (Tri‐ARTEX8:2) co‐encapsulating stem cell cytosolic extract and AntagomiR155 targets inflamed joints via the ELVIS effect, reprograms macrophages from M1 to M2, and markedly alleviates collagen‐induced ...

The passive biomechanics of human pelvic collecting lymphatic vessels. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The lymphatic system has a major significance in the metastatic pathways in women's cancers. Lymphatic pumping depends on both extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms, and the mechanical behavior of lymphatic vessels regulates the function of the system ...

Angiogenic gene expression and vascular density are reflected in ultrasonographic features of synovitis in early Rheumatoid Arthritis: an observational study. [PDF]

, 2015
INTRODUCTION: Neovascularization contributes to the development of sustained synovial inflammation in the early stages of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Ultrasound (US) provides an indirect method of assessing synovial blood flow and has been shown to correlate ...

T Cell Trafficking through Lymphatic Vessels [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
T cell migration within and between peripheral tissues and secondary lymphoid organs is essential for proper functioning of adaptive immunity. While active T cell migration within a tissue is fairly slow, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels (LVs) serve as speedy highways that enable T cells to travel rapidly over long distances.

Human Skin Models in Biophotonics: Materials, Methods, and Applications

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses how the optical properties of human skin can be replicated in human skin models. It describes the principles, materials, and techniques used to develop artificial skin for biophotonics research. Finally, the article highlights recent advances and shows how these models improve the study of light‐skin interactions without the need ...
