Lymphatic vessels mediate fluid flows that affect antigen distribution and delivery, lymph
node stromal remodeling, and cell-cell interactions, to thus regulate immune activation. Here …

Adaptive immune response consists of many highly regulated, multistep cascades that
protect against infection while preserving the health of autologous tissue. The proper …

Simple Summary Lymphatic vessels are responsible for the drainage of liquids, solutes, and
cells from interstitial spaces and serosal cavities. Their task is fundamental in order to avoid …

Abstract Background: Lymph nodes (LNs) are positioned strategically throughout the body
as critical mediators of lymph filtration and immune response. Lymph carries cytokines …

The ever-growing research on lymphatic biology has clearly identified lymphatic vessels as
key players that maintain human health through their functional roles in tissue fluid …

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

Lymphatic vessels provide an anatomical framework for immune surveillance and adaptive
immune responses. Although appreciated as the route for Ag and dendritic cell transport …

Advances in our understanding of the structure and function of the lymphatic system have
made it possible to identify its role in a variety of disease processes. Because it is involved …

The lymphatic system is responsible for controlling tissue fluid pressure by facilitating flow of
lymph (ie the plasma and cells that enter the lymphatic system). Because lymph contains …

Collecting lymphatic vessels are critical for the transport of lymph and its cellular contents to
lymph nodes for both immune surveillance and the maintenance of tissue-fluid balance …
