Stanford Bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar, "Lymphatic vessels in inflammation and cancer: Linking mechanobiology with immune regulation"
Feb 16, 2017 (Thu) | 12:00 PM -1:05 PM

: Stanford, CA
Lunch to be served at 12:00PM; seminar begins at 12:15PM. It has long been assumed that local lymph formation is driven primarily by pressure gradients generated by interstitial fluid stress and downstream lymphatic pump function, but Dr. Swartz's lab has found that vesicular transendothelial transport also contributes significantly to lymph formation and is actively regulated by the lymphatic endothelium according to inflammatory stimuli, allowing fine control of the delivery of antigens, cells, and chemokines to the local lymph node.
