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 ...

The abnormal accumulation of extravascular fluid, pulmonary edema settles in the lung interstitium and alveoli. There, it ...

为探究淋巴管内皮细胞（LEC）维持机械稳定性的机制，研究人员开展相关研究，发现其形状的动态调节对淋巴管功能至关重要。 研究人员运用了多种关键技术方法。在实验动物模型方面，使用了多种基因工程小鼠，如 VE-cadherin-GFP 小鼠、iMb2-Mosaic 小鼠等，以便观察细胞和组织的特征 ...

The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them particularly resilient to changes in fluid volume.
