Blood and lymphatic vessels are lined by a single layer of endothelial cells (ECs), the molecular signatures and functional properties of which are dependent on the type of vessel and the tissue in ...

In its response to pathogens and vaccines, the immune system relies on dendritic cells, white blood cells that patrol the body's tissues, collect components of pathogens and vaccines and transport ...

The lymphatic system is a network of branching vessels that regulate fluid balance and support the immune system. Its smallest capillaries, comprised of a single endothelial cell layer, must stay ...

Predictive factors of ductal spreading in preoperative breast cancer patients. Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) comprises of about 15%-20% of all breast cancer cases. Many studies have ...

However, this route is slow. While cells in blood vessels and in most other lymphatic vessels are carried along by a flow of fluid, virtually no flow is present in lymphatic capillaries. Consequently, ...

IBS research team has identified new subsets of gut connective cells, which are crucial for lymphatic growth.The findings imply a crucial link between the physiology of intestinal environment and ...

In its response to pathogens and vaccines, our immune system relies on dendritic cells. These white blood cells patrol the body's tissues, collect components of pathogens and vaccines and transport ...

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 also ...
