Mutations in gene RASA1 have been historically associated with capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation, but sporadic reports of lymphatic involvement have yet to be investigated in detail.

However, this route is slow. While cells in blood vessels and in most other lymphatic vessels are carried along by a flow of fluid, virtually no flow is present in lymphatic capillaries. Consequently, ...

The lymphatic system is a network of branching vessels that regulate fluid balance and support the immune system. Its smallest capillaries, comprised of a single endothelial cell layer, must stay ...

Predictive factors of ductal spreading in preoperative breast cancer patients. Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) comprises of about 15%-20% of all breast cancer cases. Many studies have ...

The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them particularly resilient to changes in fluid volume. A similar cell shape also ...

In its response to pathogens and vaccines, our immune system relies on dendritic cells. These white blood cells patrol the body's tissues, collect components of pathogens and vaccines and transport ...
