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 …

Angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis often occur in response to tissue injury or in the
presence of pathology (eg, cancer), and it is these types of environments in which …

Therapies aimed at manipulating the microcirculation require the ability to control
angiogenesis, defined as the sprouting of new capillaries from existing vessels. Blocking …

In pathological scenarios, such as tumor growth and diabetic retinopathy, blocking
angiogenesis would be beneficial. In others, such as myocardial infarction and …

The lymphatic system plays a significant role in homeostasis and drainage of excess fluid
back into venous circulation. Lymphatics are also associated with a number of diseases …

While cancer cell invasion and metastasis are dependent on cancer cell–stroma, cancer cell–
blood vessel, and cancer cell–lymphatic vessel interactions, our understanding of these …

Objective Lymphatic and blood microvascular systems are critical for tissue function. Insights
into the coordination of both systems can be gained by investigating the relationships …

Background Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) is a
devastating cerebrovascular disorder, which could benefit from collateral circulation …

The wall shear stress (WSS) exerted by blood flowing through microvascular capillaries is
an established driver of new blood vessel growth, or angiogenesis. Such adaptations are …

Microfluidic systems have emerged as a new class of perfusable in vitro culture models that
have helped advance and refine our understanding of microvascular function. Cutting‐edge …
