This technique could enable wearable devices to boost brain waste clearance in aging adults or patients with neurological conditions.

This diagram shows the pathways cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) takes as it flows from the brain’s surface through facial lymphatic vessels and into lymph nodes in the neck.

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a non-invasive method to boost the brain's natural waste ...

The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph ...

It discusses how the system is structured and how it functions, focusing on tissue drainage, fat transportation and activation of immune responses. It also examines the causes, symptoms and treatment ...

The lymphatic system, made up of lymphoid tissues known as nodes and vessels, is part of the human immune system. It is involved in protecting the body against infection, by delivering immune ...

While the system functions automatically in a healthy body, various factors—including stress, illness, or overexertion—can slow it down. In this file photo, a woman performs lymphatic drainage ...

Breathing exercises support lymphatic function. While blood moves with the help of a pump (also known as the heart), lymph moves through the lymphatic system with the help of muscle contractions.

The occipital lymph nodes are located in the back of the head, near the occipital bone of the skull. Much like other lymph nodes located throughout the body, the occipital lymph nodes play an ...

Taken together, this study uncovers the molecular mechanisms by which DHHC5 regulates intestinal lipid absorption and lymphatic function. The findings pave the way for new therapeutic strategies ...

This article, the first in a six-part series, gives an overview of the lymphatic system, which circulates lymph fluid around the body to drain tissue, transport fat and activate immune responses. ...
