How Do Meningeal Lymphatic Vessels Drain the CNS?
The many interactions between the nervous and the immune systems, which are active in both physiological and pathological states, have recently become more clearly delineated with the discovery of a meningeal lymphatic system capable of carrying fluid, immune cells, and macromolecules from the central nervous system (CNS) to the draining deep cervical lymph nodes. However, the exact localizatio...
متن کاملHow the heart relaxes
Normal functioning of the heart is dependent on its ability both to contract and relax. Heart contraction is a complex process that is initiated by an increase in intracellular calcium, which results in myosin binding to actin and myosin movement of the actin filament. Relaxation is reliant on removal of calcium from the contractile filaments, which in turn is dependent on the availability of A...
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 کاملC-reactive protein relaxes human vessels in vitro.
OBJECTIVE C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive marker of inflammation and a prognostic marker in cardiovascular disease. Evidence suggests direct biological activities of CRP within the vascular wall. The study was designed to examine the vasoreactive effects of CRP. METHODS AND RESULTS Human internal mammary artery rings were obtained during cardiovascular bypass surgery and suspended in ...
متن کاملBlood flow reprograms lymphatic vessels to blood vessels.
Human vascular malformations cause disease as a result of changes in blood flow and vascular hemodynamic forces. Although the genetic mutations that underlie the formation of many human vascular malformations are known, the extent to which abnormal blood flow can subsequently influence the vascular genetic program and natural history is not. Loss of the SH2 domain-containing leukocyte protein o...
