Clearance of cerebrospinal fluid from the sacral spine through lymphatic vessels. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The pathways of circulation and clearance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the spine have yet to be elucidated. We have recently shown with dynamic in vivo imaging that routes of outflow of CSF in mice occur along cranial nerves to extracranial lymphatic ...

Lymphatic Vessels at the Heart of the Matter [PDF]

open access: yesCell Metabolism, 2015
Emergent research in the past decades has brought to light the importance of lymphatic vessels in tissue homeostasis, immunity, metabolism, and inflammation. In Nature, Klotz et al. (2015) demonstrate that cardiac lymphatics have a unique ontology compared to visceral lymphatics and that promoting their growth can improve cardiac function following ...

Lymphatic Vasculature in Energy Homeostasis and Obesity

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Podoplanin immunopositive lymphatic vessels at the implant interface in a rat model of osteoporotic fractures

open access: yes, 2013
Insertion of bone substitution materials accelerates healing of osteoporotic fractures. Biodegradable materials are preferred for application in osteoporotic patients to avoid a second surgery for implant replacement. Degraded implant fragments are often

The interplay between lymphatic vessels and chemokines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Chemokines are a family of small protein cytokines that act as chemoattractants to migrating cells, in particular those of the immune system. They are categorized functionally as either homeostatic, constitutively produced by tissues for basal levels of ...

Lymphatic vasculature in the central nervous system

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Lymphatic vascular morphogenesis in development, physiology, and disease

open access: yes, 2011
The lymphatic vasculature constitutes a highly specialized part of the vascular system that is essential for the maintenance of interstitial fluid balance, uptake of dietary fat, and immune response. Recently, there has been an increased awareness of the

Axillary Web Syndrome Evidence for Lymphatic Origin with Thrombosis

open access: yes, 2020
Background: The axillary web syndrome (AWS) occurs in the axilla and on the frontal side of the upper arm and sometimes along the forearm to the thumb. The cord is painful, particularly on movement, and can therefore be very distressing for the patient ...

Cardiac Lymphatic Insufficiency Leads to Diastolic Dysfunction Via Myocardial Morphologic Change

open access: yesJACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2023
Summary: Although cardiac lymphatic vessels have received increasing attention in recent years, there is still a knowledge gap between cardiac lymphatics and heart homeostasis in a normal heart.
