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 ...

The lobate shape of lymphatic endothelial cells puzzled researchers—now they’ve found it helps stabilize lymphatic ...

Certain cells have an unusual shape that is similar to an oak leaf or puzzle piece, and researchers have found that the form of these cells ... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

these studies led them and their colleagues to hypothesize that endothelial cells lining the veins in the lungs would also ...

While medical centers use ultrasound daily, so far this technology has not been capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists have now developed a microscopy technique based on ...

BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has become the most prevalent type of heart failure, but ...

Here we show that nicotine increases endothelial cell number, reduces apoptosis and increases capillary network formation in vitro; that nicotine enhances the angiogenic response to inflammation ...

The finest of all these lymphatic vessels are called lymph capillaries. They have walls that are made up of just a single layer of lymphatic endothelial cells that are permeable to fluids ...
