The mammalian circulatory system comprises both the cardiovascular system and the
lymphatic system. In contrast to the blood vascular circulation, the lymphatic system forms a …

The lymphatic vasculature, which accompanies the blood vasculature in most organs, is
indispensable in the maintenance of tissue fluid homeostasis, immune cell trafficking, and …

Lymphatic vessels have historically been viewed as passive conduits for fluid and immune
cells, but this perspective is increasingly being revised as new functions of lymphatic vessels …

The lymphatic vascular system is essential for lipid absorption, fluid homeostasis, and
immune surveillance. Until recently, lymphatic vessel dysfunction had been associated with …

Lymphatic vessels constitute a ubiquitous countercurrent system to the blood vasculature
that returns interstitial fluid, salts, small molecules, resorbed fat, and cells to the bloodstream …

Blood vessels form a closed circulatory system, whereas lymphatic vessels form a one-way
conduit for tissue fluid and leukocytes. In most vertebrates, the main function of lymphatic …

Lymphatic vessels are low-pressure, blind-ended tubular structures that play a crucial role in
the maintenance of tissue fluid homeostasis, immune cell trafficking, and dietary lipid uptake …

Emergent research in the past decades has brought to light the importance of lymphatic
vessels in tissue homeostasis, immunity, metabolism, and inflammation. In Nature, Klotz et …

The lymphatic system has many functions, including macromolecules transport, fat
absorption, regulation and modulation of adaptive immune responses, clearance of …

The lymphatic vasculature plays vital roles in tissue fluid balance, immune defense,
metabolism, and cancer metastasis. In adults, lymphatic vessel formation and remodeling …
