Fluid Osmolarity Modulates the Rate of Spontaneous Contraction of Lymphatic Vessels and Lymph Flow by Means of a Cooperation between TRPV and VRAC Channels

Fluid Osmolarity Modulates the Rate of Spontaneous Contraction of Lymphatic Vessels and Lymph Flow by Means of a Cooperation between TRPV and VRAC Channels

Lymphatic vessels are capable of sustaining lymph formation and propulsion via an intrinsic mechanism based on the spontaneous contraction of the lymphatic muscle in the wall of lymphatic collectors. Exposure to a hyper- or hypo-osmolar environment can deeply affect the intrinsic contraction rate an...
