Lymphatic Pathophysiology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

In a narrow sense, the lymph circulation is a unidirectional vascular system that merely transports surplus tissue fluid back to the bloodstream. In a broader sense, however, this network stabilizes the mobile intercellular liquid and extracellular matrix microenvironment to ensure parenchymal cellular integrity and function.
