Abstract:

The lack of adequate methods for the simultaneous detection of lymphatic and blood microvessels in hollow organs does not make it possible to determine the morphological basis of lymph formation and lymph dynamics. In the relevant scientific literature, information about of the structural organization of the lymphatic system, obtained using transmission and scanning electron microscopy, does not provide exhaustive answers to the currently controversial and unresolved issues of the structural organization of the lymphatic microcirculatory bed. The purpose of the study is to presenting data on t

Abstract:

Diminished lymphatic function and abnormal morphology are common in chronic inflammatory diseases. Recent studies are investigating whether it is possible to target chronic inflammation by promoting resolution of inflammation, in order to enhance lymphatic function and attenuate disease. Resolution of inflammation is an active process regulated by bioactive lipids known as specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs). SPMs can modulate leukocyte migration and function, alter cytokine/chemokine release, modify autophagy, among other immune-related activities. Here, we summarize the role of the ly

Abstract:

The lymphatic system plays vital roles in interstitial fluid balance and immune cell surveillance. The effect of alcohol on the lymphatic system is poorly understood. This review article explores the role of the lymphatic system in the pathogenesis of alcohol-related disease including alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and the therapeutic potential of targeting hepatic lymphatics for the treatment of ALD.

The lymphatic system is considered to be the second circulatory system within the body, responsible for the maintenance of fluid homeostasis and immune protection. Among the aforementioned roles, it was proved that lymphatics are involved in dissemination of cancer and infections. This review offers a short description of the physiological features of lymphatic network, the lymphatic transport and the main drug delivery systems for lymphatic uptake.

Radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy with rhenium sulphide colloid (RSC), average particle size 40 nm was used as a functional test of the limb lymphatic system.

From the disappearance time-activity curve detected over the injection site, we calculated the half-life and the lymphatic colloidal clearance (LC) of the RSC. These two parameters appeared to be closely depending on the macrophage function and on the permeability of the initial lymphatics. We also measured the neces

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (Vegfr-3) is a tyrosine kinase that is expressed on the lymphatic endothelium and that signals for the growth of the lymphatic vessels (lymphangiogenesis). Vegf-d, a secreted glycoprotein, is one of two known activating ligands for Vegfr-3, the other being Vegf-c. Vegf-d stimulates lymphangiogenesis in tissues and tumors; however, its role in embryonic development was previously unknown. Here we report the generation and analysis of mutant mice deficient for Vegf-d. Vegf-d-deficient mice were healthy and fertile, had normal body mass, and

Abstract:

The lymphatic system consists of a unidirectional hierarchy of vessels responsible for fluid homeostasis, lipid absorption, and the transport of immune cells and antigens to secondary lymphoid organs. In cancer, lymphatics play complex and heterogenous roles that can promote or inhibit tumor growth. While lymphatic proliferation and remodeling promote tumor dissemination, functional lymphatics are necessary for generating an effective immune response. Recent reports have noted lymphatic-dependent effects on the efficacy of immunotherapy. These findings suggest that the impact of lymphatic vess

Abstract:

The central conducting lymphatics (CCL) and mesenteric lymphatic systems are responsible for lipid absorption, fluid regulation, and protein delivery into the bloodstream. Disruptions in these systems can result in debilitating conditions such as chylothorax, plastic bronchitis, post-operative lymphocele, protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), and chylous ascites. Advances in imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance lymphangiography (MRL), computed tomography lymphangiography (CTL), and fluoroscopic lymphangiography, allow for detailed anatomic and functional evaluation of the lymphatic sys

Abstract:

The authors review the current understanding of lymphatic anatomy and physiology, and the pathophysiology of lymphedema. The skin lymphatic system consists of the initial lymphatics, which converge into lymphatic precollectors, collectors and lymphatic ducts; these in turn convey the lymph to the regional lymph nodes. Interstitial fluid and particles enter the initial lymphatics through interendothelial openings and by vesicular transport. Lymphatic uptake is enhanced by external compression. Lymphatic transport depends greatly on contraction of lymphangions, which generate the suction force t

Recent advances in optical imaging techniques have allowed for more detailed and quantitative evaluations of lymph flow dynamics and mechanism.

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is a group of lympho-proliferative disorders characterised by genetic mutations resulting in the selection of a malignant clone. Recently, mutations in the anti-proliferative B-cell translocation 1 gene (BTG1) and B-cell translocation 2 gene (BTG2) have been identified in in NHL cases, which suggests a direct involvement of BTG1 and BTG2 in malignant transformation. BTG1 and BTG2 are members of the human BTG/TOB family. They are characterised by the conserved amino-terminal BTG domain, which mediates interactions with the human Caf1(hCaf1) catalytic subunit of the

Abstract:

The lymphatic vasculature is present in nearly every tissue of the body to serve essential functions in fluid homeostasis, immune cell trafficking, and lipid transport, and it has been implicated in the progression of several diseases. Despite the critical roles that this system performs, very little is known about the lymphatic vasculature in comparison to the blood vasculature, which can be attributed, in part, to the difficulty associated with imaging lymphatic vessels. With the growing interest in studying lymphatics, near-infrared (NIR) imaging has emerged in the literature as a novel lym

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in maintaining proper physiological function in the body. Its removal of proteins and other particulate matter from the tissue spaces is particularly important for the body’s prevention of extracellular edema [1].

In addition, the lymphatic system serves as a common pathway of initial metastases to regional lymph nodes for certain types of cancers [2].

This system also plays a part in serving as the primary transport mechanism for the immune system.

The lymphatic system transports fluid from the interstitium into the vascular network of lymphatic vessels through a series of valves, nodes and post-nodal ducts that converge into the subclavian veins.

All of these functions rely on the generation and regulation of lymph flow along the collecting lymphatic vessels.

This process can be described through two different mechanisms: 1) entry of the chylomicron into the initial lymphatic vessels of the small intestine, known as lacteals, and 2) the transport of these chylomicrons through the larger collecting lymphatics by a
