The basic structure and functions of the lymphatic system can be broken into the lymph channels. The lymph nodes, lymph and other organs. (1-4) These are a network of tubes or vessels much like ...

The overall structure of the lymph node is of multiple lobules surrounded by sinuses filled with lymph. All of this is enclosed within a capsule. Within the lymph nodes, in a specialized stroma ...

In lymph nodes, the PLVAP protein is like the metal sieve of a strainer, perforated with tiny holes," explains Senior Researcher Pia Rantakari, PhD, one of the key investigators behind the research.

Axillary surgery, according to the National Cancer Institute, is a surgery to remove lymph nodes found in the armpit region. Under the guidelines of the Choosing Wisely initiative from the American ...

Deep within this structure lie 2–9 popliteal lymph nodes. As parts of the lymphatic system, these lymph nodes filter fluids from the leg and foot. There are various causes of swollen popliteal ...

This process can be seen here in the sentinel lymph node (where metastasis begins to occur) whose structure is shown in red.

A new structure that appears when it's needed The researchers reveal the existence of thin, flattened structures extending over the surface of lymph nodes in mice. These dynamic structures are not ...

The superficial inguinal lymph nodes are located in the femoral triangle of Scarpa, an area of the upper, inner thigh. This area is formed by the sartorius muscle, the adductor longus muscle ...

In cancer patients, visual identification of sentinel lymph nodes (LNs) is achieved by the injection of dyes that bind avidly to endogenous albumin, targeting these compounds to LNs, where they ...

In this study, the researchers tagged molecules with fluorescent markers so they could track the movements of the cells, and used computational models and machine learning to map the fine structure of ...

Deep cervical lymph nodes are associated with their positions adjacent to the internal jugular vein, which runs near the sides of the neck. They are known as the lateral jugular, anterior jugular ...

Importantly, 'jump-starting' lymph node expansion prior to administering ... close to tumors and form a cell-permeable 3D scaffold structure under the skin. Engineered to release an immune cell ...
