The effects of valve leaflet mechanics on lymphatic pumping assessed using numerical simulations
The lymphatic system contains intraluminal leaflet valves that function to bias lymph flow back towards the heart. These valves are present in the collecting lymphatic vessels, which generally have lymphatic muscle cells and can spontaneously pump fluid. Recent studies have shown that the valves are...
