But what is it for? New research looking at the lymph capillary cells, found throughout human tissues, has determined exactly how these tiny vessels are able to let fluid and immune cells pass ...

The finest of all these lymphatic vessels are called lymph capillaries. They have walls that are made up of just a single ...

"It has been known for a long time that capillary lymphatic endothelial cells have a lobate shape, rather like oak leaves or jigsaw puzzle pieces," says Taija Mäkinen, professor at Uppsala ...

The finest of all these lymphatic vessels are called lymph capillaries. They have walls that are made up of just a single layer of lymphatic endothelial cells that are permeable to fluids ...

The lobate shape of lymphatic endothelial cells puzzled researchers—now they’ve found it helps stabilize lymphatic capillaries against fluid pressure changes. Laura is an Assistant Editor for The ...

Our research group aims at identification of cellular mechanisms, which could be used to enhance adaptive immune response in inflammation-associated disease conditions via controlled expansion of ...
