In the past decade, novel lamellar keratoplasty techniques such as Deep Anterior Lamellar
Keratoplasty (DALK) for anterior keratoplasty and Descemet stripping automated endothelial …

Skin metastases occur in 0.6%–10.4% of all patients with cancer and represent 2% of all
skin tumors. Skin metastases from visceral malignancies are important for dermatologists …

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is common in patients with brain tumors, and underlying
mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesized that podoplanin, a sialomucin-like glycoprotein …

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) come in a variety of types, but one of the most common forms is
multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). MWCNT have potential applications in many …

Intravascular injections of fluorescent or biotinylated tomato lectin were tested to study
labeling of vascular elements in laboratory mice. Injections of Lycopersicon esculentum …

Fluid shear forces have established roles in blood vascular development and function, but
whether such forces similarly influence the low-flow lymphatic system is unknown. It has …

Older patients with melanoma have lower rates of sentinel lymph node (LN) metastases yet
paradoxically have inferior survival. Patient age correlated with an inability to retain …

Schlemm's canal (SC) plays central roles in ocular physiology. These roles depend on the
molecular phenotypes of SC endothelial cells (SECs). Both the specific phenotype of SECs …

In the lymphatic sinuses of draining lymph nodes, soluble lymph-borne antigens enter the
reticular conduits in a size-selective manner and lymphocytes transmigrate to the …

The lymphatic vascular system has been minimally explored in the liver despite its essential
functions including maintenance of tissue fluid homeostasis. The discovery of specific …
