Lymphatic vessels in solid organ transplantation and immunobiology
American Journal of Transplantation, 2020 With the recent advances in our understanding of the function and biology of the lymphatic vascular system, it is clear that the lymphatic system plays an integral role in physiology, and in pathological settings, may contribute to either enhance or ...

Organogenesis and distribution of the ocular lymphatic vessels in the anterior eye.
JCI Insight, 2020 Glaucoma surgeries, such as trabeculectomy, are performed to lower intraocular pressure to reduce risk of vision loss. These surgeries create a new passage in the eye that reroutes the aqueous humor outflow to the subconjunctival space, where the fluid ...

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

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.

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 ...
