Lymph nodes are located at the junction of lymphatic vessels in the body. Lymphatic vessels transport fluid containing antigenic material, dendritic cells (DCs), and inflammatory biochemicals from ...

Researchers have uncovered a sieve-like structure in lymph nodes that regulates the transport of proteins and migration of white blood cells into lymph nodes. The discovery will provide new insights ...

Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are heterogeneous stromal cells. Subsets of FRCs include: T cell zone reticular cells that produce interleukin-7 (IL-7) to support naive T cells; resident and ...
