Molecular classification
Endothelium, Vascular Structure
01

Overview

Lymphatic vessels are thin-walled, valved tubular structures that form a crucial part of the lymphatic system. They transport lymph—a clear fluid containing immune cells, proteins, and waste products—away from tissues and return it to the bloodstream. The lymphatic vessel network is essential for maintaining fluid balance in the body, supporting immune function, and facilitating the absorption of dietary fats. Targeting molecules such as LYVE‑1 or VEGFR‑3 enables selective delivery to lymphatics for immunotherapy or cancer treatment applications.
