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 ...

Lymphatic and blood vessels in parathyroid tumors: Immunohistochemical study with LYVE-1 and von Willebrand factor

Biomolecules & Biomedicine
Parathyroid tumors exhibit distinct histopathological features that differentiate benign from malignant lesions. This study aimed to study characteristic distribution of lymphatic and blood vessels in normal parathyroid gland and parathyroid tumors to ...

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.

Cholinergic innervation of human mesenteric lymphatic vessels [PDF]

, 2013
Background: The cholinergic neurotransmission within the human mesenteric lymphatic vessels has been poorly studied. Therefore, our aim is to analyse the cholinergic nerve fibres of lymphatic vessels using the traditional enzymatic techniques of staining,

The Interplay Between Lymphatic Vessels and Chemokines [PDF]

, 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 ...

Protocol of Noncontrast High-frequency Ultrasound and Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound-guided Lymphatic Mapping for Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis Surgery

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Summary:. Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) surgery, one of the main methods for lymphedema, creates connections between lymphatic vessels and adjacent veins, facilitating lymphatic drainage.

Three-dimensional imaging of Prox1-EGFP transgenic mouse gonads reveals divergent modes of lymphangiogenesis in the testis and ovary.

PLoS ONE, 2012
The lymphatic vasculature forms a specialized part of the circulatory system, being essential for maintaining tissue fluid homeostasis and for transport of hormones, macromolecules, and immune cells.

Cardiac Lymphatic Insufficiency Leads to Diastolic Dysfunction Via Myocardial Morphologic Change

JACC: 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.

Immunocytochemical staining for lymphatic and blood vessels with frozen sections: using LYVE-1 for lymphatic vessel and von Willebrand factor for blood vessel marker

European Journal of Histochemistry
Almost all human tissues are supplied with lymphatic vessels, yet histological structure and function of lymphatic vessels is still elusive. Most immunocytochemical studies have been performed with the routinely formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded ...

CEACAM1 participation in breast cancer progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In invasive breast cancer (BC), CEACAM1 shifts from an apical to a uniform membranous/cytoplasmic pattern, or is lost, as tumors dedifferentiate, inversely tracking the Ki‐67 proliferative index. In MCF‐7 cells, only CEACAM1‐4L suppresses proliferation, repressing cell cycle and growth factor genes.
