Background Lymphatic vessels interconnect with blood vessels to form an elaborate system
that aids in the control of tissue pressure and edema formation. Although the lymphatic …

Background—The lymphatic system regulates interstitial tissue fluid balance, and lymphatic
malfunction causes edema. The heart has an extensive lymphatic network displaying a …

Objective: Lymphatics play an essential pathophysiological role in promoting fluid and

Cardiac lymphangiogenesis plays an important physiological role in the regulation of
interstitial fluid homeostasis, inflammatory, and immune responses. Impaired or excessive …

Aims Lymphatics are essential for cardiac health, and insufficient lymphatic expansion
(lymphangiogenesis) contributes to development of heart failure (HF) after myocardial …

The lymphatic network of mammalian heart is an important regulator of interstitial fluid
compartment and immune cell trafficking. We observed a remodeling of the cardiac …

In recent decades, treatments for myocardial infarction (MI), such as stem and progenitor cell
therapy, have attracted considerable scientific and clinical attention but failed to improve …

The lymphatic vasculature plays a key role in regulating tissue fluid homeostasis, lipid
transport, and immune surveillance throughout the body. Although it has been appreciated …

The lymphatic vasculature has an essential role in maintaining normal fluid balance in
tissues and modulating the inflammatory response to injury or pathogens. Disruption of …

The lymphatic system plays crucial roles in regulating fluid homeostasis, immune
surveillance, and lipid transport. As is in most of the body's organs, the heart possesses an …
