The lymphatic system is comprised of a network of vessels interrelated with lymphoid tissue,
which has the holistic function to maintain the local physiologic environment for every cell in …

The supply of oxygen and nutrients to tissues is performed by the blood system and involves
a net leakage of fluid outward at the capillary level. One of the principal functions of the …

Supply chain management firms are gradually pressurized to incorporate social
sustainability practices to address social issues. Though, the researchers emphasized on …

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 influence of Poiseuille flow on cell viability has applications in the areas of cancer
metastasis, lab-on-a-chip devices and flow cytometry. Indeed, retaining cell viability is …

How do vessels find optimal radii? Capillaries are known to adapt their radii to maintain the
shear stress of blood flow at the vessel wall at a set point, yet models of adaptation purely …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are exposed to fluid shear stress (FSS) of greater than 1000
dyn/cm2 (100 Pa) in circulation. Normally, CTCs that are exposed to FSS of this magnitude …

Lymphatic vessels (LVs) are important in the regulation of tissue fluid homeostasis and the
pathogenesis of tumor progression. We investigated the innervation of LVs and the …

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 …

Dysfunction of collecting lymphatic vessel pumping is associated with an array of
pathologies. S-(−)-Bay K8644 (BayK), a small-molecule agonist of L-type calcium channels …
