Abstract:
In this issue of JEM, Cleary et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20241359) present a new intravital imaging technique using a 3D-printed window device that enables lung lymphatics and their participation in immune cell trafficking events to be visualized in action for the first time in mechanically ventilated mice.

01:23Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
1.1K
Lymph nodes are bean-shaped structures that cluster along the lymphatic vessels in the inguinal, axillary, and cervical regions. Each node is divided into compartments by a capsule that extends trabeculae inward.
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...

01:17Gross Anatomy of the Lungs
1.5K
The lungs are a pair of vital organs connected to the trachea via the left and right bronchi. The base of these organs meets the dome-shaped muscle known as the diaphragm. Encased by the pleurae, the lungs contact the mediastinum. The right lung is shorter yet wider, and has a larger volume than the left lung. The left lung has an indentation known as the cardiac notch. The superior region of the lungs is referred to as the apex, whereas the base is the lower region near the diaphragm. The...
