Lymphatic Microenvironment

Lymphatic Microenvironment is the specialized tissue microenvironment constituted by lymphatic endothelial cells, associated stromal and immune cells, extracellular matrix components, and lymph-borne soluble factors that collectively regulate lymphatic vessel structure and function, including fluid homeostasis, immune cell trafficking, and, in pathology, lymphangiogenesis and metastatic dissemination.
