Despite their important pathophysiological roles, molecular markers for tissue-resident fibroblasts are ... and heterogeneity of fibroblasts in secondary lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes, spleen, ...

If throat cancer spreads through the lymph vessels, it will likely land in the lymph nodes of the neck. There, it can produce non-tender masses (lymphadenopathy) and then seed new tumors in other ...

Lymph nodes also carry lymphatic fluid and connect via lymphatic vessels. Together, the lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels make up the lymphatic system, which is an essential part of the immune system.

We have examined various clinical and histopathological (microscopic) markers in both primary tumors and lymph node metastases in patients. The analyses show that these markers can distinguish ...

These vessels are part of the larger lymphatic system in the body, responsible for waste disposal and helping the immune system. The researchers used a targeted protein treatment on older mice to help ...

Ischemic heart disease is a prevalent cause of death and disability worldwide. Recent studies reported a rapid expansion of the cardiac lymphatic network upon ischemic heart injury and proposed that ...

A lump on the side of the neck could be a swollen lymph node caused by a bacterial or viral infection or a benign (non-cancerous) growth like a cyst, lipoma, or goiter. Swollen, infected salivary ...
