Transplanting donor cells into lymph nodes regenerates liver, pancreas and thymus function in mice. Figure 1: Generation of ectopic liver, pancreatic islets and thymus by lymph node transplantation.

The frequent spread of certain cancers to lymph nodes often necessitates surgery or radiation therapy that damages the lymphatic system and can cause lymphedema, a condition of localized fluid ...

In most patients with melanoma who develop metastases, the regional lymph nodes are the first organs to be affected. The techniques of lymphatic mapping and sentinel-node biopsy (LM/SNB) can identify ...

If we imagine our immune system to be a police force for our bodies, then previous work has suggested that the Lymph nodes would be the best candidate structures within the body to act as police ...
