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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

In this study, researchers aimed to determine whether ctDNA is detectable in other bodily fluids besides blood, and to characterize any ctDNA they were able to detect.

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 ...
