Intravital Immunofluorescence for Visualizing the Microcirculatory and Immune Microenvironments in the Mouse Ear Dermis

Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Amanda Waite Lund, Jeremy Teo, Scott Oliver

Visualizing the dynamic behaviors of immune cells in living tissue has dramatically increased our understanding of how cells interact with their surroundings, contributing important insights into mechanisms of leukocyte trafficking, tumor cell invasion, an ...

Normal Dendritic Cell Mobilization to Lymph Nodes under Conditions of Severe Lymphatic Hypoplasia

Melody Swartz, Joseph Rutkowski

To address the requirement for lymphatic capillaries in dendritic cell (DC) mobilization from skin to lymph nodes (LNs), we used mice bearing one inactivated allele of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3) where skin lymphatic capillaries ...

Impaired Humoral Immunity and Tolerance in K14-VEGFR-3-Ig Mice That Lack Dermal Lymphatic Drainage

Melody Swartz, Joseph Rutkowski, Miriella Carmela Pasquier, Susan Thomas

Lymphatic vessels transport interstitial fluid, soluble Ag, and immune cells from peripheral tissues to lymph nodes (LNs), yet the contribution of peripheral lymphatic drainage to adaptive immunity remains poorly understood. We examined immune responses to ...

In vitro lymphatic endothelial morphogenesis : molecular vs. biophysical regulation

Carolyn Yong Pullin

Cell organization into functional multicellular three-dimensional structures is a long-standing challenge. In particular, engineering of vascularized tissues requires both blood and lymphatic neovascular network formation in a simultaneous and coordinated ...

Multiscale modeling of lymphatic drainage from tissues using homogenization theory

Melody Swartz

Lymphatic capillary drainage of interstitial fluid under both steady-state and inflammatory conditions is important for tissue fluid balance, cancer metastasis, and immunity. Lymphatic drainage function is critically coupled to the fluid mechanical propert ...

Nano-sized drug-loaded micelles deliver payload to lymph node immune cells and prolong allograft survival

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Conlin O'Neil, Alice Anna Tomei, Karen Dane, Jackson Eby

By delivering immunomodulatory drugs in vivo directly to lymph nodes draining an injection site, an opportunity exists to increase drug bioavailability to local immune cells. Importantly, particles smaller than 100 nm are efficiently transported through ly ...

Transmural flow modulates cell and fluid transport functions of lymphatic endothelium

Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Joseph Rutkowski, James Brandon Dixon, Dimana Miteva

RATIONALE: Lymphatic transport of peripheral interstitial fluid and dendritic cells (DCs) is important for both adaptive immunity and maintenance of tolerance to self-antigens. Lymphatic drainage can change rapidly and dramatically on tissue injury or infl ...

Dermal collagen and lipid deposition correlate with tissue swelling and hydraulic conductivity in murine primary lymphedema

Melody Swartz, Joseph Rutkowski

Primary lymphedema is a congenital pathology of dysfunctional lymphatic drainage characterized by swelling of the limbs, thickening of the dermis, and fluid and lipid accumulation in the underlying tissue. Two mouse models of primary lymphedema, the Chy mo ...
