Preformed portals facilitate dendritic cell entry into afferent lymphatic vessels
Although both processes occur at similar rates, leukocyte extravasation from the blood circulation is well investigated, whereas intravasation into lymphatic vessels has hardly been studied. In contrast to a common assumption-that intra- and extravasation follow similar molecular principles-we previously showed that lymphatic entry of dendritic cells (DCs) does not require integrin-mediated adh...
متن کاملAutotransplantation of lymphatic vessels.
SIR,-No treatment is available for tackling the underlying cause of secondary lymphoedema due to dissection of the lymphatic pathway at a specific site.’ A bypass within the lymphatic system seems the most promising way to eliminate the cause for swollen legs in the early stages of the disease, but materials other than lymphatic collectors cannot maintain an adequate lymph flow over a long peri...
متن کاملLymphatic vessels and tertiary lymphoid organs.
Tertiary lymphoid organs (TLOs) are accumulations of lymphoid cells in chronic inflammation that resemble LNs in their cellular content and organization, high endothelial venules, and lymphatic vessels (LVs). Although acute inflammation can result in defective LVs, TLO LVs appear to function normally in that they drain fluid and transport cells that respond to chemokines and sphingosine-1-phosp...
متن کاملFacelift and patterns of lymphatic drainage.
BACKGROUND It has commonly been assumed that deeper facelift dissection causes greater and more prolonged swelling. OBJECTIVES In this preliminary report, the authors compare the lymphatic reconstitution after multiple techniques of rhytidectomy by means of dynamic lymphoscintigraphy. METHODS Three patients were enrolled in this study. All three were female, were similar in age, and exhibit...
متن کاملInterplay between Inflammatory Responses and Lymphatic Vessels
Lymphatic vessels are routes for leukocyte migration and fluid drainage. In addition to their passive roles in migration of leukocytes, increasing evidence indicates their active roles in immune regulation. Tissue inflammation rapidly induces lymphatic endothelial cell proliferation and chemokine production, thereby resulting in lymphangiogenesis. Furthermore, lymphatic endothelial cells induce...
