MECHANICALLY MEDIATED GROWTH AND REMODELING OF COLLECTING LYMPHATIC VESSELS
Lymphatic dysfunction plays a key role in pathologies such as immune disorders, infection, cancer, obesity, and cardiovascular disease; regarding the latter, lymphatic dysfunction may exacerbate edema in myocardial infarction (MI) and chronic heart failure. Secondary lymphedema is a progressive and …

The functional and remodeling response of collecting lymphatic vessels to disruption of lymphatic drainage pathways
The lymphatic system is composed of a network of vessels, nodes, and accessory organs that is present in most soft tissues of the body. The lymphatics play a vital role in maintaining tissue fluid homeostasis, trafficking immune cells from the periphery to the nodes, and transporting dietary lipids …
