Explore the innovative concept of bioengineered lymph nodes as a promising solution for lymphedema after cancer surgery.

The rising incidence of cancer worldwide has led to an increasing number of surgeries that involve the removal of lymph nodes. Although these procedures play a major role in cancer staging and ...

A team of researchers, led by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute), explored the cellular and molecular interactions revealing how lymph nodes play a crucial role ...

Through the precise molecular design of cationic polypeptides, we have prepared a new dynamic nanomedicine (or nanomachine) that loosely encapsulates a single molecule of oligonucleotide drug. When ...

The lymph node (LN) is a pea-sized (0.1–2.5 cm long), bean-shaped organ of the lymphatic and immune system. A human possesses approximately 500–600 lymph nodes and collectively, lymph nodes enable ...

Lymph nodes trigger very different immune responses – depending on which body tissue they are connected to. Special T cells are responsible for this newly discovered relation. The human body contains ...
