Lymph nodes are located at the junction of lymphatic vessels in the body. Lymphatic vessels transport fluid containing antigenic material, dendritic cells (DCs), and inflammatory biochemicals from ...

Researchers have uncovered a sieve-like structure in lymph nodes that regulates the transport of proteins and migration of white blood cells into lymph nodes. The discovery will provide new insights ...

The lymphatic system is basically a channel that carries a clear or whitish fluid called the lymph. This lymph aids in clearing the tissues of infective organisms, toxins etc. The basic structure and ...

Lymph nodes are the sites of key immune-cell interactions. In these organs, dendritic cells (DCs) present pathogen molecules (antigens) carried in from peripheral tissues to lymphocytes (particularly ...

Tumors, such as melanoma, release nanovesicles called exosomes (gray) that travel and lodge in the lymph nodes. There they corrupt the behavior of lymph cells. The lymphatic vessels (green) branch out ...

For the first time in decades, researchers have identified a new 'micro-organ' within the immune system -- and they say it's an important step towards understanding how to make better vaccines. For ...

To clarify the prognostic impact of tumor nodules without residual lymph node (LN) structure (ND) in colorectal cancer and to determine optimal categorization of ND in tumor staging. A multicenter, ...
