Fully functional lymphatic capillaries generated for the first time. Tissue fluid is excreted from a wound which accumulates in a cavity on the skin's surface and can impede wound healing.

Small lymph capillaries connect these spaces to the lymphatic system. Around 90% of the plasma that reaches tissues from the arterial blood capillaries returns through the venous capillaries and ...

This is because, unlike other lymphatic vessels, capillaries are surrounded only by a thin, barely closed layer of cells, allowing dendritic cells to slip through the spaces between neighboring ...

Signpost for sentinel cells Date: February 16, 2016 Source: ETH Zurich Summary: Sentinel cells of the immune system can enter the finest lymphatic capillary vessels present in tissues.

The finest of all these lymphatic vessels are called lymph capillaries. They have walls that are made up of just a single layer of lymphatic endothelial cells that are permeable to fluids, ...

This indicates that the lymphatic capillaries need this overlap for the vessel to be able to expand without rupturing when the fluid pressure rises,” says Taija Mäkinen.

Lymphatic capillaries are key to mediating stem cell differentiation in the intestines, and researchers find they produce key proteins to control this mechanism. Intestinal tissue needs to be ...

In a new study published in Nature, the researchers discovered that LECs not only share their lobate shape but also exhibit similar cytoskeletal structure and signaling pathway regulation—factors that ...
