Although renal sinus vein invasion is the most common site of extrarenal involvement in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CC), CC also spreads by lymphatics. As cortical lymphatics drain into the sinus ...

During the embryonic stage of brain development, some neurons and synapses form properly and connect, but others don't, causing some parts and pieces to be discarded. This leaves behind dead or dying ...

A. The drawing shows intracranial upstream lymphatic regions #1, #2, and #3 that drain through the nasopharyngeal lymphatic plexus (NPLP) en route to medial deep cervical lymphatics and deep cervical ...

Metastasis to local lymph nodes via the lymphatic vessels is a common step in the spread of solid tumors. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the spread of cancer by the lymphatics, we ...

It was previously assumed that bones lacked lymphatic vessels, but new research from the MRC Human Immunology Unit at Oxford's MRC Weatherall Institute for Molecular Medicine not only locates them ...

A recent article demonstrated how lymphatics -- which remove waste from the rest of the body -- are also associated with microglia and brain development in zebrafish. During the embryonic stage of ...

A new study suggests that stem cells are able to integrate cues from their surroundings and coordinate their behavior across tissue through networks of vasculature in their close vicinity. To act as a ...

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PureTech Health plc (Nasdaq: PRTC, LSE: PRTC) ("PureTech" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company dedicated to discovering, developing and commercializing ...

As humans age, the brain’s ability to clear waste products declines, a process thought to contribute to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

During development, the cardiovascular system is already fully functional when the lymphatics system forms as a merger of outgrowths of the cardiovascular system (the lymphatic sacs) and ...
