Conjunctival Lymphatic Response to Corneal Inflammation in Mice
Journal of Ophthalmology, 2012 Due to its unique characteristics, the cornea has been widely used for vascular research. However, it has never been studied whether lymphatic vessels in the conjunctiva, its neighboring tissue, are affected by corneal lymphangiogenesis (LG). The purpose

Relationship between angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in recurrent pterygium
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2012 AIM: To examine the relationship between angiogenesis and lymphangigenesis in recurrent pterygia.METHODS: Tissues from 34 excised recurrent pterygia (including 12 Grade 1, 10 Grade 2, and 12 Grade 3) were involved in the study and tissues from 7 nasal ...

Characterisation of ovine lymphatic vessels in fresh specimens.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Background and aimThe development and use of experimental models using lymphatic cannulation techniques have been hampered by the lack of high-quality colour imaging of lymphatic vessels in situ.

Histological insight into the hepatic tissue of the Nile monitor (Varanus niloticus) [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The liver of reptiles is considered an important study model for the interaction between environment and hepatic tissue. Little is known about the histology of the liver of reptiles. The aim of the current study was to elucidate the histological architecture of the liver of the Nile monitor (Varanus niloticus).

U-Net with Graph Based Smoothing Regularizer for Small Vessel Segmentation on Fundus Image [PDF]
ICONIP2019, 2020 The detection of retinal blood vessels, especially the changes of small vessel condition is the most important indicator to identify the vascular network of the human body. Existing techniques focused mainly on shape of the large vessels, which is not appropriate for the disconnected small and isolated vessels.

Spatio-temporal Models of Lymphangiogenesis in Wound Healing [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Several studies suggest that one possible cause of impaired wound healing is failed or insufficient lymphangiogenesis, that is the formation of new lymphatic capillaries. Although many mathematical models have been developed to describe the formation of blood capillaries (angiogenesis), very few have been proposed for the regeneration of the lymphatic ...

eLife, 2019 The cardiac lymphatic vascular system and its potentially critical functions in heart patients have been largely underappreciated, in part due to a lack of experimentally accessible systems.

Entrainment of Lymphatic Contraction to Oscillatory Flow [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Lymphedema, a disfiguring condition characterized by the asymmetrical swelling of the limbs, is suspected to be caused by dysfunctions in the lymphatic system. Lymphangions, the spontaneously contracting units of the lymphatic system, are sensitive to luminal wall shear stress. In this study, the response of the lymphangions to dynamically varying wall

Connexins in lymphatic vessel physiology and disease
FEBS Letters, 2014 Connexins are transmembrane proteins that form gap junction‐ and hemi‐channels. Once inserted into the membrane, hemi‐channels (connexons) allow for diffusion of ions and small molecules (<1 kDa) between the extracellular space and the cytosol. Gap junction channels allow diffusion of similar molecules between the cytoplasms of adjacent cells.
