Lymphatic Vessels and Lymph Nodes

Molecular classification
Anatomical Structure, Vascular System, Immune Organ
01

Overview

Lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes are integral components of the lymphatic system, responsible for fluid balance, immune surveillance, and fat absorption. Lymphatic vessels collect and transport lymph, while lymph nodes filter lymph and initiate immune responses. Mapping these structures is crucial for cancer staging, sentinel node biopsy, immune monitoring, and targeted drug delivery. Key markers include LYVE-1, VEGFR-3, Podoplanin, and PNAd.
