The mammalian intestine is richly supplied with lymphatic vasculature, which has functions ranging from maintenance of interstitial fluid balance to transport of antigens, antigen-presenting cells, ...

The often forgotten lymphatic circulatory system may be intimately involved in vascular disorders, according to a study by researchers. The often forgotten lymphatic circulatory system may be ...

The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes, and ducts that pass through almost all bodily tissues. It allows the circulation of a fluid called lymph through the body in a similar way to blood ...

In a new study, published in Cell Reports, researchers at Uppsala University describe a novel mechanism by which lymphatic vessels form during embryonic development. The finding may open new ...

The lymph system provides a slow flow of fluid from tissues into the blood. It returns fluid and proteins that leak from blood vessels, provides passage for immune cells from the tissues to the blood, ...

Organ-on-a-chip models have garnered increasing attention in recent years, driven by advances in techniques and technologies including cell culture, microfluidics, tissue engineering and bioprinting.

The lymphatic system, the body’s second largest circulatory network, plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance and immune function. Despite its importance, studying lymphatic vessel function ...
