Immune functions in the mouse intestine differ by segment.

Researchers hope that “lympho-organoids” could eventually treat lymphedema in humans, but the technique is currently a proof-of-concept.

Analysis of the bodies of deceased individuals can’t determine what effect these tattoo remnants have on lymph function, but researchers suggest dirty needles aren’t the only risk of the age-old practice.

Glowing cells mark the routes of tumor spread by way of newly formed lymph vessels. 

The causes and consequences of physical forces in the tumor microenvironment

A tumor’s physical environment fuels its growth and causes treatment resistance.

A mouse study reveals how chronic stress remodels lymphatic vasculature to facilitate the spread of tumor cells.

Four studies identify alternative origins for cells of the developing lymphatic system, challenging the long-standing view that they all come from veins.
