Investigations into mechanisms of macrophage clearance via the lymphatic system during acute inflammation

Thesis

The lymphatic system is an important vascular network with many important roles which include maintaining fluid homeostasis and acting as a conduit for immune surveillance as well as to clear leucocytes from inflammatory zones. Macrophages are one such population that require to be removed from sites of inflammation to restore physiological homeostasis; persistent accumulation of macrophages is seen as a hallmark of chronic inflammation which has severe consequences in health.
