Morphometric changes in the blood and lymphatic channels during inflammation [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
When the abdominal cavity is inflamed, the lymphatic channel, i.e. the system of lymph vessels and lymph nodes, which play an important role in protecting the body from infections and ensuring proper metabolism, may be affected.

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 promotes the development of the lymphatic vasculature. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) is highly expressed by lymphatic endothelial cells and has been shown to stimulate lymphangiogenesis in adult mice. However, the role VEGFR2 serves in the development of the lymphatic vascular system

Differential regulation of lymphatic junctional morphology and the potential effects on cardiovascular diseases

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
The lymphatic vasculature provides an essential route to drain fluid, macromolecules, and immune cells from the interstitium as lymph, returning it to the bloodstream where the thoracic duct meets the subclavian vein.

Lymphatic vasculature in the central nervous system

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
The central nervous system (CNS) is considered as an immune privilege organ, based on experiments in the mid 20th century showing that the brain fails to mount an efficient immune response against an allogeneic graft.

Vegfr3-tdTomato, a reporter mouse for microscopic visualization of lymphatic vessel by multiple modalities.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Lymphatic vessels are indispensable for tissue fluid homeostasis, transport of solutes and dietary lipids and immune cell trafficking. In contrast to blood vessels, which are easily visible by their erythrocyte cargo, lymphatic vessels are not readily ...

Lymphatic Vasculature in Energy Homeostasis and Obesity

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Obesity is a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Body mass is regulated by the balance between energy uptake and energy expenditure. The etiology of obesity is determined by multiple factors including genetics, nutrient absorption, and ...

Evidence for disseminated tumor cells in lymphatic vessels afferent to sentinel lymph nodes in patients diagnosed with cervical cancer

Cancer Reports, 2021
Background In patients diagnosed with cervical cancer, the purpose of lymphadenectomy is the removal of lymph nodes for diagnosis and potential treatment of metastasized tumor cells.

Pathophysiology of aged lymphatic vessels

Aging, 2019
Lymphatic vessels maintain body homeostasis by recirculation of fluid and cells. Cell senescence induces lymphatic dysfunction. Impaired contractile function is caused by low muscle cell investiture and decrease of nitric oxide in aged lymphatic collectors, leading to poor drainage of lymph.

Pre-collecting lymphatic vessels form detours following obstruction of lymphatic flow and function as collecting lymphatic vessels.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundPreviously, we showed that lymphatic vessels (LVs) formed detours after lymphatic obstruction, contributing to preventing lymphedema.

Structure-preserving semi-convex-splitting numerical scheme for a Cahn-Hilliard cross-diffusion system in lymphangiogenesis [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
A fully discrete semi-convex-splitting finite-element scheme with stabilization for a Cahn-Hilliard cross-diffusion system is analyzed. The system consists of parabolic fourth-order equations for the volume fraction of the fiber phase and solute concentration, modeling pre-patterning of lymphatic vessel morphology.
