In a study published in Nature, South Korean researchers led by Director Koh Gou Young of the Center for Vascular Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a distinctive ...

Cancer cells invade lymphatic vessels to colonize lymph nodes and evade immune responses. Therefore, the idea of developing treatments to prevent cancers from exploiting the lymphatic system is ...

Lymphatics play a critical role in the immune system by efficiently transporting antigens and immune cells into lymph nodes (LNs), which allows the timely initiation of an immune response or tolerance ...

In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, South Korean researchers led by Director KOH Gou Young of the Center for Vascular Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a ...

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a non-invasive method to boost the brain’s natural waste drainage system—a discovery that they suggest could open new avenues for ...

As humans age, the brain’s ability to clear waste products declines, a process thought to contribute to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

During the embryonic stage of brain development, some neurons and synapses form properly and connect, but others don't, causing some parts and pieces to be discarded. This leaves behind dead or dying ...

Researchers identified a protein called VE-cadherin as a key factor in the maintenance of lymphatic vessels serving the heart. Deleting VE-cadherin from the lymphatic vessels in newborn and adult lab ...

Researchers have uncovered a distinctive network of lymphatic vessels at the back of the nose that plays a critical role in draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain. The study, sheds light on ...

A. The drawing shows intracranial upstream lymphatic regions #1, #2, and #3 that drain through the nasopharyngeal lymphatic plexus (NPLP) en route to medial deep cervical lymphatics and deep cervical ...
