BACKGROUND Blood and lymphatic vessel networks form two arms of the vertebrate
cardiovascular system that play complementary roles in body homeostasis maintenance and …

Inflammation plays a crucial pathophysiological role in the entire continuum of the
atherosclerotic process, from its initiation, progression, and plaque destabilization leading …

Mammals have two specialized vascular circulatory systems: the blood vasculature and the
lymphatic vasculature. The lymphatic vasculature is a unidirectional conduit that returns …

Tertiary lymphoid organs emerge in tissues in response to nonresolving inflammation.
Recent research characterized artery tertiary lymphoid organs in the aorta adventitia of aged …

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 …

The lymphatic vasculature mediates essential physiological functions including fluid
homeostasis, lipid and hormone transport, and immune cell trafficking. Recent studies have …

Current models of B lymphocyte biology posit that B cells continuously recirculate between
lymphoid organs, without accumulating in peripheral healthy tissues. Nevertheless, B …

Recent studies have suggested that lymphatics help to restore heart function after cardiac
injury,,,,–. Here we report that lymphatics promote cardiac growth, repair and …

Background—Inappropriately sustained inflammation is a hallmark of chronic ischemic heart
failure (HF); however, the pathophysiological role of T lymphocytes is unclear. Methods and …

Aims: The lymphatic system is involved in fluid homeostasis of the cardiac interstitium, but
lymphangiogenesis in myocardial remodelling has not previously been examined …
