Immunology Structure and Function of the Murine Lymph Node HARVARD UNIVERSITY Michael C. CarrollShannon J. Turley WoodruffMatthew CharlesLymph nodes (LNs) are dynamic organs responsible for providing a supportive and centralized environment for the generation of immune response. Utilizing a highly ...
Lymph node, any of the small, bean-shaped masses of lymphoid tissue enclosed by a capsule of connective tissue that occur in association with the lymphatic vessels. As part of the lymphatic system, lymph nodes serve as filters for the blood, providing sp
Lymph Node Lymph nodes (Fig. 9.2) are small, solid and rounded bodies that lie along lymphatic pathways, occurring singly or as well-defined groups. Lymph nodes have a complicated structure, much of which has been discovered during the past 20 or so years. Willard-Mack (2006) has contribute...
Explain the functions of a lymph node. Explain the function of lymph nodes and their basic structure and location. (a) Describe how lymph nodes function as lymphatic organs. (b) Describe the path of lymph through a node. How are lymph nodes and the spleen similar and different (structure a...

Although lymph node structure shows interspecies, strain, age and regional variation and is influenced by exogenous antigenic stimulation, the general architecture is similar in most laboratory animal species.105,111–116 In resting lymph nodes the cortex is divided into discrete B cell areas called ...
Functional organotypic human lymph node model with native immune cells benefits from fibroblastic reticular cell enrichment Article Open access 10 April 2025 Introduction A fine network of fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) is essential for maintaining lymph node (LN) structure and function1,2,3. ...

The structure of the LN is created by fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs), immunologically specialised stromal cells of mesenchymal origin that form cellular and extracellular networks, providing structural support and chemical cues essential for immune function.3 Notably, FRCs produce chemokines and ...
