Blog Article

Lymphatic vessels mediate fluid flows that affect antigen distribution and delivery, lymph node stromal remodeling, and cell-cell interactions, to Activity Spiral thus regulate immune activation.Here we review the functional role of lymphatic transport and lymph node biomechanics in immunity.We present experimental tools that enable quantitative analysis of lymphatic transport and lymph Goalkeeper Gloves node dynamics in vitro and in vivo.Finally, we discuss the current understanding for how changes in lymphatic transport and lymph node biomechanics contribute to pathogenesis of conditions including cancer, aging, neurodegeneration, and infection.: Lymphology; Biophysics; Biomechanics; Biological Sciences Tools Subject Areas: Lymphology, Biophysics, Biomechanics, Biological Sciences Tools.
