DOI: 10.1002/ca.23801
Abstract: The thoracic duct (TD) drains most of the body's lymph back to the venous system via its lymphovenous junction (LVJ), playing a pivotal role in fluid homeostasis, fat absorption and the systemic immune response. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00595-018-1631-1
Abstract: PurposePulmonary lymphatic fluid predominately flows along the bronchi. However, there are reports suggesting that an alternative lymphatic pathway exist, which may result in skip metastases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the subpleural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-44735-w
Abstract: Secondary upper limb lymphoedema is usually caused by lymphatic system dysfunction. Diagnosis is primarily based on clinical features. However, there are no distinct diagnostic criteria for lymphoedema. Although conventional lymphoscintigraphy is a useful technique to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-80882-1
Abstract: Normal growth and development of lymphatic structures depends on mechanical forces created by accumulating interstitial fluid. However, prolonged exposure to pathologic mechanical stimuli generated by chronically elevated lymph flow results in lymphatic dysfunction. The mechanisms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2111726119
Abstract: Significance An efficient innate immune response is essential in the host’s immune protection during infection before adaptive immunity intervenes. We show that the earliest neutrophil infiltration to the lymph node via high endothelial venules is… read more here.
