The lymphatic vasculature is essential for immune function, tissue fluid homeostasis and the absorption of dietary fat. The process of lymphangiogenesis involves the formation of new lymphatic vessels ...

These images use color markers—blue for nuclei, red for cell membranes, and green for fluid—to show that spaces between cells shrink as fluid moves out during tissue compression, from left to right ...

Now, MIT engineers have found that this "intercellular" fluid plays a major role in how tissues respond when squeezed, pressed, or physically deformed. Their findings could help scientists understand ...

Scientists at the UNC School of Medicine led a study to advance the understanding of lymphatic vessels, which transport lymph, a clear fluid containing important molecules, immune cells and fluid, ...

The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes, and ducts that pass through almost all bodily tissues. It allows the circulation of a fluid called lymph through the body in a similar way to blood ...

A new study suggests that stem cells are able to integrate cues from their surroundings and coordinate their behavior across tissue through networks of vasculature in their close vicinity. To act as a ...

Pathology is a branch of medical science primarily concerning the cause, origin, and nature of disease. It involves the examination of tissues, organs, bodily fluids, and autopsies in order to study ...

Investigators have identified a component in the intestine that plays a critical role in repairing damaged tissue. Investigators at Cedars-Sinai and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) ...

The effectiveness of the immune system depends upon the ability of its components to get to where antigen is. Because it cannot be reliably anticipated where antigen will enter the body (except ...
