At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the ...

Young patients with advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system, now have a better chance of having their ...

The lymphatic system is present in almost every organ and comprises specialized vessels and lymphoid organs/tissues. Blind-ended lymphatic capillaries, also called initial lymphatics, take up the ...

Over the past decade, intensive studies have shown that the brain's meningeal lymphatic system acts as the brain's "waste disposal network," maintaining homeostasis by clearing metabolic waste and ...

While scientists have long known about the lobate, puzzle-like shape of capillary lymphatic endothelial cells, the reason for the shape was unknown, noted senior study author Taija Mäkinen, a ...

The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them particularly resilient to changes in fluid volume.

The lobate appearance of both plant cells and mammalian lymphatic endothelial cells stands out as a distinctive feature among the diversity of cell shapes that have been observed in nature.

The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them particularly resilient to changes in fluid volume. A similar cell shape ...

The multiple roles of lymphatic cells Prof Hugues' team then deleted this enzyme in mouse lymphatic endothelial cells. Its absence led to a sharp drop in 25- hydroxycholesterol levels in the ...

Lymphatic endothelial cells express the receptors for IGFs. IGF-1 and IGF-2 induce lymphangiogenesis using the same mouse corneal angiogenesis assay described above.

Lymphatic vessel development studies in mice and zebrafish models have demonstrated that lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) predominantly differentiate from venous endothelial cells via the expression ...
