The lymphatic system, composed of initial and collecting lymphatic vessels as well as lymph nodes that are present in almost every tissue of the human body, acts as an essential transport system for fluids, biomolecules, and cells between peripheral tissues and the central circulation. Consequently, it is required for normal body physiology but is also

Biological functions of lymphatic vessels
Science, 2020Roles of organ-specific lymphatic vessels Lymphatic vessels are spread throughout the human body and have critical functions in mammalian physiology. Petrova et al. review emerging roles of the lymphatic vasculature in organ function and pathology and provide perspectives beyond the traditional view of ...

The novel role of lymphatic vessels in the pathogenesis of ocular diseases.
Progress in retinal and eye research, 2023Historically, the eye has been considered as an organ free of lymphatic vessels. In recent years, however, it became evident, that lymphatic vessels or lymphatic-like vessels contribute to several ocular pathologies at various peri- and intraocular ...

Impairment of the Glymphatic Pathway and Putative Meningeal Lymphatic Vessels in the Aging Human
Annals of Neurology, 2020Aging is a major risk factor for numerous neurological disorders, and the mechanisms underlying brain aging remain elusive. Recent animal studies demonstrated a tight relationship between impairment of the glymphatic pathway, meningeal lymphatic vessels,

Optimal Lymphatic Vessel Structure
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005Lymphatic vessels transport excess interstitial fluid from the low-pressure tissues to the higher pressure veins. The basic structural unit of lymphatic vessels is the lymphangion, a segment of the vessel separated by two unidirectional valves. Lymphangions cyclically contract like ventricles and can actively pump lymph.

Permeability of lymphatic vessels
American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1962Substances of various molecular sizes were infused through leg or mesenteric lymphatics of anesthetized dogs and their concentrations were followed in thoracic duct lymph and plasma for the subsequent 2 1/2 hr. An isolated in vivo popliteal lymph node preparation was also perfused with some of the same substances. Small molecules were found to diffuse

Microsurgical Lymphatic Vessel Transplantation
Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 2015Lymphedema 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.

The lymphatic system extends its network of vessels throughout most of the body. Lymphatic vessels carry a fluid rich in proteins, immune cells, and long-chain fatty acids known as lymph. It results from an excess of interstitial tissue fluid collected from the periphery and transported centrally against hydrostatic pressure and protein concentration ...
