Integrated gross and microanatomical analysis of the periportal lymphatic system in human liver
The intrahepatic lymphatic fluid enters the capillary lymphatic vessels via the extravascular pathway, and lymphocyte components enter the capillary lymphatic vessels through the CCR7/CCL21 transport system in the extravascular pathway. This is the first study to elucidate the human intrahepatic periportal lymphatic system.
