Development of the Lymphatic System in the 4D XCAT Phantom [PDF]
, 2021 Purpose: The XCAT phantom allows for highly sophisticated multimodality imaging research. It includes a complete set of organs, muscle, bone, soft tissue, while also accounting for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI), which allows phantom studies to be performed at a population scale.

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.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2019 Background:. Identification and localization of functional lymphatic vessels are important for lymphaticovenular anastomosis. Conventional high-frequency ultrasound (CHFUS) has been reported to be useful for them, but it has some disadvantages.

Hyperactive KRAS/MAPK signaling disrupts normal lymphatic vessel architecture and function
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Complex lymphatic anomalies (CLAs) are sporadically occurring diseases caused by the maldevelopment of lymphatic vessels. We and others recently reported that somatic activating mutations in KRAS can cause CLAs.

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 ...

Lymphangiogenesis and carcinoma in the uterine cervix: Joint and hierarchical models for random cluster sizes and continuous outcomes [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2015, Vol. 9, No. 4, 1932-1949, 2016 Although the lymphatic system is clearly linked to the metastasis of most human carcinomas, the mechanisms by which lymphangiogenesis occurs in response to the presence of carcinoma remain unclear. Hierarchical models are presented to investigate the properties of lymphatic vessel production in 2997 fields taken from 20 individuals with invasive ...

Chronic high-fat diet impairs collecting lymphatic vessel function in mice.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Lymphatic vessels play an essential role in intestinal lipid uptake, and impairment of lymphatic vessel function leads to enhanced adipose tissue accumulation in patients with lymphedema and in genetic mouse models of lymphatic dysfunction.
