the blood circulation. Lymphatic vessels have an important immune surveillance function, as they import various antigens and activated antigen-presenting cells into the lymph nodes and export immune effector cells and humoral response factors into the blood circulation. Defects in lymphatic function can ...
spontaneously and act as pumping units and are responsible for propulsion of lymph (Fig.1). The vessel wall is divided into three layers, tunica intima, media and adventitia, albeit less well organized than in blood vessels. Their smooth muscle cell content increases proximally. The collecting ly...
17,18]. However, menstrual bleeding has been very infrequent in the population of young women that drove reproduction for millions of years [7]. Thus, the potentially destructive effect of uterine hypercontractility, as observed today in many non-conceptual...

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a continuous endothelial membrane within brain microvessels that has sealed cell-to-cell contacts and is sheathed by mural vascular cells and perivascular astrocyte end-feet. The BBB protects neurons from factors present in the systemic circulation and maintains the...
It also produces a "strawberry tongue" that makes the tongue rough and swollen lymph nodes. Lawrence K. Altman, The New York Times The most serious complications of Kawasaki disease involve the coronary vessels and the heart. About 14% to 30% of the affected cases have been shown to ...
are not known to take up cells or solutes but instead they function to actively pump lymph, via the action of specialized muscle cells and valves that promote unidirectional flow, along afferent collecting vessels that drain into LNs and then through efferent collecting vessels that emerge from LNs...
The main prognostic factors for carcinoma of the penis are the degree of invasion by the primary tumor and the status of the draining lymph nodes. Pathology Primary neoplasms of the penis can be classified into the following histologic types: SCC, sarcoma, melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and ly...
Meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) have been shown to be involved in amyloid beta (Aβ) clearance, which is considered as a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this study, based on the superficial spatial distribution of mLVs, a near-infrared light is employed to ...
Key elements of these environmental signals are mechanical forces, metabolism, cell–matrix and cell–cell interactions, as well as organotypic growth factors that adapt vessel size, shape and function to the needs of the underlying tissue. Vessels reciprocally instruct tissue differentiation and ...
