cervical lymph vessel function

An August 2024 study by University of Rochester Medical Center said,

• “This research shows that restoring cervical lymph vessel function can substantially rescue the slower removal of waste from the brain associated with age,”

• “Moreover, this was accomplished with a drug already being used clinically, offering a potential treatment strategy.”  

• “Unlike the cardiovascular system which has one big pump, the heart, fluid in the lymphatic system is instead transported by a network of tiny pumps,”

• “These vessels are conveniently located near the surface of the skin, we know they are important, and we now know how to accelerate function,”

• “One can see how this approach, perhaps combined with other interventions, could be the basis for future therapies for these diseases.”
