While researchers have long been familiar with the surface structure of lymphatic vessels, a groundbreaking study has now focused on their jigsaw puzzle-like pattern. This arrangement helps cells ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Advances in cancer treatment mean more people are living longer after a cancer diagnosis. But some survivors develop lymphedema—long-term swelling in the arms, hands, legs or feet ...

Scientists have made a breakthrough that could lead to effective treatments for lymphedema, a painful swelling condition for which there is currently no cure. Lymphedema can be congenital or caused by ...

The research group of prof. Sanjiv Luther at the department of immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered ...

The lymphatic system is a network of branching vessels that regulate fluid balance and support the immune system. Its smallest capillaries, comprised of a single endothelial cell layer, must stay ...

The lymphatic system is part of the human immune system. It’s a collection of tissues and vessels that move a fluid called lymph throughout the body. A lymphatic drainage massage involves gently ...

As aging bodies decline, the brain loses the ability to cleanse itself of waste, a scenario that scientists think could be contributing to neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and ...

The image shows a lymph node in which cancer cells are marked with yellow. The blue veins are lymphatic vessels. Breast cancer is able to modify the lymphatic vessels through which it travels to the ...

The lymphatic system plays a key role in maintaining the body’s fluid balance and supporting immune defences. Lymphatic vessels are composed of a single layer of endothelial cells, allowing the ...
