Scientists at the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine suggest that lymphatic vessels that clean the brain of harmful material may play a crucial role in the development and progression of ...

Scientists have uncovered how lymphatic vessels—the kidney's "plumbing system"—undergo dramatic changes during chronic transplant rejection, becoming structurally disorganized and spreading to unusual ...

The frequent spread of certain cancers to lymph nodes often necessitates surgery or radiation therapy that damages the lymphatic system. The new study demonstrate for the first time that growth factor ...
