A study published today in Nature Communications describes how lymphatic endothelial cells assist in generating robust immune memory, offering new insights into how the immune system functions.

New research reveals that keeping lymph nodes intact, which are often removed near tumors to prevent cancer from spreading, may lead to better patient outcomes and enhance the effectiveness of ...

For many breast cancer patients, the end of treatment marks a return to everyday life. But for some, a lingering and sometimes lifelong side effect remains: lymphedema. Lymphedema is a condition that ...

Side by side with the blood circulatory system is the Lymphatic Circulatory System. This is leading to the realm of theLYMPH, which circulates in the LYMPHATIC system where LYMPHOMA takes place. Many ...
