The lymph nodes were known in antiquity—you can see them without a microscope—and were first described in Peri Adenon (On Glands), the Hippocratic treatise that has been described as a “milestone” in ...

In recent years, researchers have been learning more about why cellular antennas called cilia are so important. Cilia can act as sensors of the cell's environment and can send and receive signals.

The lymphatic system is a system of thin tubes and lymph nodes that run throughout the body. These tubes are called lymph vessels or lymphatic vessels. The lymph system is an important part of our ...

Figure 1: The lymphatic vasculature and molecular mechanisms involved in its development and growth. Figure 3: A schematic model of lymphatic vessel function in organ transplantation. Inhibition of ...

Currently, there is little research focused on understanding mechanisms and drug discovery of lymphatic vascular diseases. However, conditions such as lymphedema, a buildup of fluid in the body when ...

A surprising finding that challenges current anatomy and histology textbook knowledge has been released by researchers: Lymphatic vessels are found in the central nervous system where they were not ...

Researchers developed bioengineered lymphatic tissue that replaced missing lymph nodes in mice, with potential to treat lymphedema.

Lymph nodes are small (about 1-2 centimeters around or the size of a couple of AAA batteries side by side) oval or kidney-shaped structures that are a part of your immune system. They're part of your ...

Organ-on-a-chip models have garnered increasing attention in recent years, driven by advances in techniques and technologies including cell culture, microfluidics, tissue engineering and bioprinting.

Think of your lymphatic system as a hardworking network quietly managing waste removal, immunity, and fluid balance. To keep the lymphatic system functioning smoothly, it is key to ensure your body ...
